Using the method described in my previous article, you can easily see the benefit to bypass censorship. By using the set up previously described, you can encrypt all your traffic through the proxy and therefore appear as if you are only having one long SSH connection.
But in addition, it can be a good idea to configure firefox to use the proxy to resolve the DNS requests (in case the DNS server you are using are “filtered”). To do so, type “about:config” in the adress bar and change the setting of network.proxy.socks_remote_dns from false to true as shown below.
