Hello.
I use CentOS 7 amd64 and I like tunnel Yum through an SSH connection. I use "ssh -Cav root@IP -D 127.0.0.1:9051" and like my Yum use SSH connection.

Any idea?

Thank you.

just a reminder it is bad practise to login in as root. The basic syntax for dynamic port forwarding is:

ssh -D 9051 user@server

You need to change yum.conf to use the proxy

proxy=socks5h://localhost:9051

I would avoid doing that if at all possible, but if you must this is about the best way.
