I would like to know how to hide browsing history from wifi router so that my neighbors with whom I share the wifi won't be able to see sites I've visited?

When my laptop is using a network I don't control (basically anything that's not home) it wears pretty red socks to reroute all traffic into the SOCKS5 proxy built into OpenSSH and then to a server I rent anyways for my website to protect my traffic. Your question of how to hide browsing history from wifi router can be answered as - You can use tor as well but I intensely dislike tor (for reasons off topic here).

This is the socks_up script:

socks_down

ssh  -o ControlMaster=yes -S /tmp/linode-socket -fCqND 8080 ssh@linode

sudo redsocks -c /usr/local/bin/redsocks.conf 

sudo iptables -t nat -N REDSOCKS

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 0.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 10.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 169.254.0.0/16 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 192.168.0.0/16 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -d 240.0.0.0/4 -j RETURN

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -p tcp -o wlan0 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:8081

sudo iptables -t nat -A REDSOCKS -p tcp -o eth0 -j DNAT --to 127.0.0.1:8081

sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j REDSOCKS

sudo iptables -t nat -I REDSOCKS -d 1.2.3.4 -j RETURN

You need to change the 1.2.3.4 to your server IP and ssh@linode to your server and user.

This is the socks_down script:

#!/bin/bash

sudo iptables -F

sudo iptables -X 

sudo iptables -Z

sudo iptables -t nat -F

sudo iptables -t nat -X

sudo iptables -t nat -Z

sudo killall redsocks

ssh -o ControlMaster=no -S /tmp/linode-socket -ON exit localhost

This is the redsocks.conf file:

base{log_debug = off; log_info = off;

   daemon = on; redirector = iptables;}

   redsocks { 

     local_ip = 127.0.0.1; local_port = 8081;

     ip = 127.0.0.1; port = 8080;

     type = socks5;

   }

(and I know it shouldn't live in a bin directory. Oh well.)
