If they're familiar with ssh:
ssh -D 8080 user at yourip

then they've got a SOCKS proxy running on their machine (port 8080),  
which any browser but Opera can use as tho it were coming from your IP

(so they set the socks proxy to 127.0.0.1:8080)

That's what I always used to do anyway, simplest for you to set up,  
since you don't have to do anything :-)
