Apps to setup an SSH socks proxy on android

So I had a need to access a website that is on a private home network which resides behind a Linux server. The only way into this box is through an SSH connection that only takes rsa keys.

The two apps I used are sshtunnel and proxydroid. Both of these are available in the market.

After that just fire up the browser and browse to the site. For quicker access I put the widgets for each application on my desktop so that I can launch them quickly.
