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:

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:

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”:

ssh -o ProxyCommand="pync -X connect -x localhost:8000 %h %p" user@host
