> The socks proxy support ...

I just love SOCKS proxy in SSH tunnels: at some point I had a dedicated server (on a fixed IP) with countless machines (usually headless Pis dropped at a family member's place and/or SME office) automatically setting up, 24/7, reverse tunnels to that dedicated server.

Then I could, from anywhere, both access their LANs (to fix stuff) and have a browser, running locally, pretending to be in this or that country.

Basically because I had all those reverse tunnels always there, I could always decide how to use them (just SSH in or SOCKS in etc.).
