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

20 Replies, 1198 Views

Quick question: are you using a password or key-based auth for your SSH connection? If it’s password-based, make sure you’re entering it correctly. If it’s key-based, ensure your private key is loaded (e.g., `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa`).

Also, try using `ssh -D 1080 -l myuser remoteserver -N` to run the connection in the background without a shell. Might help isolate the issue.
