My method works for any normal sshd server you can connect to that 
allows forwarding. OpenWRT should work for you as the socks proxy is 
created on the initiating user side, your local ssh client, that's why 
you set your browser to 127.0.0.1:port and then it forwards packets 
internal to the ssh tunnel without invoking anything on the server side. 
If you don't set an IP with -D then it uses localhost which is what 
you'd want in this case.
