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

Yo, had the same issue last week! Turns out, my browser wasn’t actually using the socks proxy even though I set it to localhost:1080. Make sure you disable any other proxies or VPNs in your browser settings.

Also, test if the socks proxy ssh -l is working by using `curl --socks5 localhost:1080 http://ifconfig.me`. If it returns the remote server’s IP, you’re golden.
