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

Hey, just wanted to add—make sure your browser isn’t bypassing the proxy for local addresses. Some browsers ignore proxy settings for `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`. Try accessing an external site to see if it works.

Also, if you’re on Windows, check if your antivirus or firewall is blocking the connection. Sometimes they’re overly aggressive with port blocking.
