Lets say, you work somewhere, that does, say.... https decryption and/or logs stuff... or the firewall just blocks stuff in general.

And, you want to say, access that stuff.

Well, you can route your web traffic through a ssh connection, instead of it going out the traditional path. This allows you to bypass content filtering, etc.

Its, essentially like having a VPN tunnel, routing your traffic. Amazing feature.
