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

Yo, I feel your pain. Socks proxy ssh -l setups can be a headache. One thing that helped me was using `autossh` instead of plain SSH. It automatically reconnects if the connection drops, which is super handy.

Also, check out [this guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/t...-tunneling) on SSH tunneling—it’s pretty comprehensive and might have some tips you haven’t tried yet.
