How to connect to public wifi hotspot with ssh port-forwarding?
 

I was reading a tutorial for safe connection when using public wifi hotspots in Full Circle Magazine issue n°37 http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-37/
the tutorial is in Command&Conquer section.

all traffic forwarded to port 8080 with
Btw, in the tutorial they suggest to configure a SOCKS proxy in Firefox, but N900 browser is different

so,what to do? can we just go to the N900 Settings->Network Settings->Connections-> choose the wifi hotspot connection->Modify and in Advanced, choose: Use proxy?

what is the closest way to a system wide settings that forward the most traffic to ssh server?

You need a local proxy on N900, and proxy through that.
