I wouldn't be, if I were doing this kind of thing, because ssh implies
local access, which means I now have to worry about how to deal with
forkbombs, or how to configure ssh to only allow a tunnel, instead of
forwarding.

OpenVPN, on the other hand, lets me easily restrict access using
iptables, which is nice, because I already have to know iptables.

Probably something like this:

stunnel -d https -r localhost:8123

However, OpenVPN would probably make it easier to do access control; I
can't find information on how you'd do it with Polipo. But that's
probably mostly because I know OpenVPN so well.
