Can my vps_ip be set as a proxy to let wget use with?

Question

There is a $url which is blocked by gfw.
Now i want to download the content from the $url this way.

ssh  root@vps_ip  #to use my vps_ip to break the gfw.      
wget -c  $url  -O /home/material  #to get the content on /home/material in my remote vps disk.      
scp root@vps_ip:/home/material    /home  #to get the /home/material in my remote vps disk into my local disk .

Option 1, with the use of socksify from the security/dante package:

sudo pkg_add dante

ssh -N -C -D 1080 root@$vps_ip &

SOCKS_SERVER=localhost:1080 socksify wget -c $url -O /home/material

---

Option 2, by piping the download through stdout / stdin:

ssh -C root@$vps_ip "wget -O- $url" >> /home/material
