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

Hey, no worries—this stuff can be tricky! For troubleshooting, I’d recommend using `proxychains`. It’s a handy tool to force any app to use your socks proxy ssh -l setup. Just install it and run `proxychains curl http://example.com` to see if it works.

Also, check if your remote server’s SSH config allows TCP forwarding. Sometimes it’s disabled by default.
