*************************************** a SOCKS or HTTP ProxyCommand for ssh(1) *************************************** You can tunnel **pync**'s traffic through a SOCKS or HTTP proxy server by using the -X flag to specify the protocol (default: SOCKS v5) and -x to specify the address of the proxy server: .. code-block:: sh pync [-X proto] -x addr[:port] dest port By passing this command to the SSH ProxyCommand option, you can create an SSH client that tunnels it's connection through a proxy server. For example, the following creates an SSH client that tunnels it's traffic through a SOCKS v5 proxy server at localhost port 8000: .. code-block:: sh ssh -o ProxyCommand="pync -X 5 -x localhost:8000 %h %p" user@host You can also tunnel the traffic through an HTTP proxy by setting the -X argument to "connect": .. code-block:: sh ssh -o ProxyCommand="pync -X connect -x localhost:8000 %h %p" user@host
