SSH

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "email@address.com"

Basic SSH key gen:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

VPN

Run localhost VPN to server:

$ ssh -L 3128:localhost:8888 -N root@111.111.111.11

or:

$ ssh -L 3128:localhost:8888 -N -i ~/.ssh/key_rsa root@111.111.111.11

Command format:

$ ssh -L {port}:{localhost} -N -i {/path/to/key.rsa} {user}@{host}

To get this to work, change network settings to use localhost (port 3128) as the proxy.
