 @39199a26 I have adsl line, connection drops at random, I find it extremely frustrating when it happens and I am in the middle of an upgrade.

You mentioned:  SOCKS Proxy via Firefox 
What’s that?

 @0134ce10 I mean that I have setup a local SOCKS proxy via ssh and am connecting to a Firefox session on a remote machine through that connection via Waypipe.  

You can also run a local Firefox over a SOCKS proxy.  I use FoxyProxy for that, but that's not a viable option for this particular case - too many gaps to bridge than via ssh jump hosts.

 @0134ce10 I haven't, mainly because doing it via ssh is muscle memory for me and I don't need to install anything else server or client side for that to work.

ssh -CNTD 55555 some_host

Then I set all_proxy or FoxyProxy, etc. to socks5://127.0.0.1:55555
