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_host connect_port

DESCRIPTION
       A proxy command for ssh(1) that uses SOCKS5 (RFC 1928). Typical 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  possi-
       ble.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -h socks5_proxy_host    Specifies the proxy web server through which to connect. Overrides the SOCKS5_SERVER environment variable.

       -p socks5_proxy_port    Specifies  the  port  on  which	the  proxy  web  server  runs. If not specified, port 80 is assumed. Overrides the
			       SOCKS5_PORT environment variable.

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.

       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.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       1	An error occurred.
