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

Hey, just a quick tip: make sure your SSH client isn’t timing out. Add `ServerAliveInterval 60` to your SSH config file to keep the connection alive.

Also, check your firewall rules on both your local machine and the remote server. Sometimes, ports get blocked unintentionally.

If you’re on Linux, `netstat -tuln | grep 1080` can help verify if the port is open and listening.
