User Commands ssh-socks5-proxy-connect(1)
NAME
ssh-socks5-proxy-connect - Secure Shell proxy for SOCKS5
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect [-h socks5_proxy_host]
[-p socks5_proxy_port] connect_hostconnect_port
DESCRIPTION
A proxy command for ssh(1) that uses SOCKS5 (RFC 1928). Typ-
ical use is where connections external to a network are only
allowed via a socks gateway server.
This proxy command does not provide any of the SOCKS5
authentication mechanisms defined in RFC 1928. Only
anonymous connections are possible.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-h socks5_proxy_host Specifies the proxy web server
through which to connect. Overrides
the SOCKS5_SERVER environment vari-
able.
-p socks5_proxy_port Specifies the port on which the
proxy web server runs. If not speci-
fied, port 80 is assumed. Overrides
the SOCKS5_PORT environment vari-
able.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
socks5_proxy_host The host name or IP address (IPv4 or
IPv6) of the proxy.
socks5_proxy_port The numeric port number to connect
to on socks5_proxy_host.
connect_host The name of the remote host to which
the socks gateway is to connect you.

User Commands ssh-socks5-proxy-connect(1)connect_port The numeric port number of the socks
gateway to connect you to on
connect_host.
EXAMPLES
The recommended way to use a proxy connection command is to
configure the ProxyCommand in ssh_config(4) (see Example 1
and Example 2). Example 3 shows how the proxy command can be
specified on the command line when running ssh(1).
Example 1: Setting the proxy from the environment
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in
ssh_config(4) when the proxy is set from the environment:
Host playtime.foo.com
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect \
playtime.foo.com 22
Example 2: Overriding proxy environment variables
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect in
ssh_config(4) to override (or if not set) proxy environment
variables:
Host playtime.foo.com
ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect -h socks-gw \
-p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22
Example 3: Using the command line
The following example uses ssh-socks5-proxy-connect from the
ssh(1) command line:
example$ ssh -o'ProxyCommand=/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-socks5-proxy-connect \
-h socks-gw -p 1080 playtime.foo.com 22' playtime.foo.com
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SOCKS5_SERVER Takes socks5_proxy_host operand to
specify the default proxy host.
SOCKS5_PORT Takes socks5_proxy_port operand to
specify the default proxy port.
