How to add socks proxy to ssh config file?

Answer 1

Use the config setting "DynamicForward" Here is a quick example of what it should look like:

Host example.com
    User username
    Port 22
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    DynamicForward 8080

If the DynamicForward option is only given a port numer it will bind to localhost:port. You can add a specific IP to get it to bind to an address other than the localhost. Using "*:8080" will bind the proxy to all IP addresses on the box. To use an IPv6 address enclose the address in square brackets:

[2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334]:8080
