SSH over SOCKS5 Proxy

SSH over SOCKS5 Proxy

Assuming you have completed the steps in the Skywire SOCKS5 Proxy User Guide, it is possible to use the proxy to gain ssh access to a remote machine when you cannot otherwise ssh directly to that machine. First, connect the socks5 proxy to that machine, either via the hypervisor UI or using skywire-cli skysocksc

When the connection has been established, the following command may be run, substituting user@host with the correct username & hostname.

 ssh user@host -p 22 -o "ProxyCommand=nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p"
