Hey everyone,
So I’m trying to set up a socks proxy ssh -l for the first time, and I’m kinda stuck. I followed some tutorials, but it’s not working as expected.
Here’s what I did:
`ssh -D 1080 -l myuser remoteserver`
But when I try to use it in my browser (set to socks5 localhost:1080), nada. No connection.
Am I missing something obvious? Like, do I need to tweak the ssh config or something? Or is it a firewall thing?
Also, if anyone’s got tips for troubleshooting socks proxy ssh -l setups, I’d really appreciate it. Maybe some common pitfalls or tools to test if it’s working?
Thanks in advance! You guys are lifesavers.
(Also, sorry if this is a dumb question—still learning the ropes here!)
