Using SSH also has some problems when using it as a proxy, sometimes it locks up and you have to exit the connection using "~." and then log back in. The OpenSSH programmer guy is a pain in the ass to talk to, he thinks everyone else is of a lower evolution then he is and thinks he is the SSH god of the world so never mind ever seeing it get fixed. Even when just using it for a tunnel it has the same sort of problem. Socks 4 is the only thing supported. Basicly it sucks as any type of tunnel, sorry. If you have nothing else to use then oh well.
