use vps as a tunnel to access ipv6 site via pc.

Yes, should be possible. I do this with a squid proxy, though it will probably be possible with a SOCKS proxy as well.

waiting for a more specific answer :)

I do it by connecting via a ssh tunnel and setting firefox to use it as a socks proxy (google firefox socks proxy). Then if say I connect to the linode manager it'll use my Linodes ipv6 address.

can you teach the exact steps to reproduce what you are doing?

It varies between OS and browser, google "socks proxy "

this search returns nothing interesting, I use firefox and centos 6.

The problem isn't in the way to configure firefox but in the way to open the sockes proxy on centos.

Obviously I don't want to open a public proxy but a proxy that can be used by my pc only.

The proxy is handled by ssh (similar to how it can also act as an X forwarder or raw TCP port forwarder). For an ssh command line client, see the "-D" option (or DynamicForward in a config file). For other clients, look for options to control a local SOCKS proxy.

Then, configure your browser to use localhost as the proxy, with whatever local port you told the ssh client to use. The ssh client side acts as the SOCKS server.

The proxy server only exists on your local PC, not your remote Linode.

Basically, you'll use Putty to create the tunnel, leave it open, and configure your browser to connect via SOCKS.

Hi,

thanks for the answer, I solved by my self by installing SQUID with password,

now I have a configurable proxy, password protected.

Password protected? An SSH proxy is SSH-protected, which is even better.
