$ ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub darling@windows.local

$ ssh -D 3128 -q -C -N -f darling@windows.local
  • -q: quiet mode, don’t output anything locally
  • -C: compress data in the tunnel, save bandwidth
  • -N: do not execute remote commands, useful for just forwarding ports
  • -f: keep it running in the background

If PasswordAuthentication is enforced, and pubilc key authentication in SSH Server is not supported, try:

1
$ sshpass -f ~/.ssh/windows.passwd ssh -D 3128 -q -C -N -f darling@windows.local

$ git config http.proxy 'socks5://localhost:3128'

$ cat .git/config
[user]
	name = Terrence Miao
	email = terrence.miao@paradise.net
	signingkey = EBCEB936
[http]
	proxy = socks5://localhost:3128

Then can access git repository via proxy both on command line and in UI client.
