====== Privacy Tunnel DNS Lookups through socks proxy when browsing ======
SSH SOCKS option is a great way to quickly tunnel web traffic. BUT DNS traffic is still in the clear. 

SOCKS5 in Firefox can be configured handle DNS lookups by the remote (secured) end:
  * Set ''network.proxy.socks_remote_dns = true'' in about:config. A double click will flip it from false to true and you are done.
