How to add socks proxy to ssh config file?

Question

I know how to forward SOCKS proxy on the command like below

ssh -D port_number user@host

This works well but I want to be able to put that forw

Answer 1

I do not recommend use socat because it only support socks4 But you can use ncat

1. install ncat
2. add this in your ssh config file ProxyCommand ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p

You may need to check ncat options if it does not work.
