Sounds similar to my situation.
In fact, it might do everything I could want.

One difference for me is that I only want to allow only ssh (22)
to my proxy server.

So, I'll use ssh to establish a tunnel to the socks4 proxy server.
Then point the browser proxy and rftp to that tunnel port on localhost.
Now I have secure, authenticated proxy service, no?

ftp is nice, but not required....
I'm guessing that I might be able to configure debian apt-get
to run through that rftp?
Is there a way to specify rftp (passive) in sources.list as
opposed to straight FTP?
