Need Help Setting Up a SOCKS Proxy with `ssh -l` – Any Tips or Troubleshooting Advice?

20 Replies, 1454 Views

Hey! First off, no dumb questions here—we all start somewhere. For your socks proxy ssh -l setup, double-check if your remote server allows SSH tunneling. Some servers block it for security reasons.

Also, try running `ssh -D 1080 -l myuser remoteserver -v` to get verbose output. It might give you clues on where it’s failing.

If you’re still stuck, check out [sshuttle](https://sshuttle.readthedocs.io/). It’s a great tool for simplifying SSH tunneling and might save you some headaches.
