I noticed in another thread someone pointed to a tutorial for using ssh tunneling with Firefox, so I thought I would share my method for Chrome.
I have 2 shortcuts on my desktop, both for Chrome. The first is normal, but the target in the other is:
C:\Users\u4ia\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:1080"
Just use putty or however you ssh into your server (I personally use cygwin) with
ssh -D 1080 me@server.com
and launch the Chrome proxy shortcut.
I'm sure most everyone knows how to tunnel, but the shortcuts on the desktop might be handy :)
