I'm curious why you refer to 'ssh -D' as 'vanilla SOCKS'? SOCKS existed before SSH did, and there are SOCKS server implementations that don't rely on SSH.

- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoAh, well that's quite simple: I'm dumb:) Or ignorant rather. But seriously, until reading your comment it never once occurred to me that it wasn't invented by (open)ssh; I assumed one of the "S"s stood for SSH (probably "SOCKets over Ssh"). And better yet, because that made sense, it never crossed my mind to question it. So, uh, thanks:)
