feature request: ssh connections trough a SOCKS proxy #422

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
connectbot is a truly great app however it lacks an important feature for my 
and many of my coworkers workflow, support to connecting to an ssh host through 
a socks proxy. The large institution I work at requires that we connect to 
hosts though a bastion host. The best way I have found to do this and be able 
to connect to many hosts is to make a dynamic tunnel (SCOKS proxy) to the 
bastion host. I then connect to the final hosts through that SOCKS proxy. 
Connectng to ssh hosts through a socks proxy is not currently supported where 
it is possible with say PuTTY (Connection -> Proxy).

Its possible to get similar results with a lot of forwarded ports each to a 
specific host however this configuration adds a good deal of complexity.

Please consider this request as an upgrade to your fine app

Wouldn't that qualify for an Enhancement, not a Defect?

Please do not forget about SOCKS5 authentication, which also should be 
implemented.
