Sometimes it is useful to route traffic through a different machine for testing or development. At work, we have a VPN to a remote facility that we haven't bothered to fix for routing, so the only way to access a certain machine over that VPN is via an SSH tunnel to a machine that is reachable over the VPN. Other times, I have used this technique to test internet-facing requests against sites I am developing. It is pretty easy, and if you don't use firefox regularly, you can treat Firefox as your "Proxy" browser and other browsers can use a normal configuration (Although you can also configure an entire system to use the proxy, other articles exists that discuss this potential).

1. Open a terminal

# fuckForticlient.sh
#
#	Script to authenticate against Fortinet SAML servers using Firefox and
#	openfortivpn. This replaces Forticlient for GNU/Linux completely.
#	Because openfortivpn does not support SAML login (yet), this script uses Firefox
#	to authenticate, grabs SVPNCOOKIE and then calls openfortivpn to setup
