Setting up SSH tunnel with PuTTY for web browsing

I need to use SSH tunnel to perform web browsing in WiFi hotspots. The procedures for setting up SSH tunnels with PuTTY are as follows:

Web Browser: Use proxy, connect to 127.0.0.1 port 7070



PuTTY: normal SSH login + tunnel



The tunnel should have local port 7070 forward to IP 1.2.3.4:3778 assuming there is a squid daemon running on IP 1.2.3.4 listening on port 3778.
