ssh -p 443 -D 1000 u...@server.com and try to route Thunderbird client via that SOCKS5 connection I get following errors (used 'vvv'): ---------------------------------------------------------------- <server_name>-/home/<user>-$debug1: Connection to port 3000 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug2: fd 9 setting TCP_NODELAY debug3: fd 9 is O_NONBLOCK debug3: fd 9 is O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 2: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 0 debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 3 debug2: channel 2: decode socks5 debug2: channel 2: socks5 auth done debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: need more debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 0 debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 10 debug2: channel 2: decode socks5 debug2: channel 2: socks5 post auth debug2: channel 2: dynamic request: socks5 host <static IP #1> port 143 command 1 channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed debug1: channel 2: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 3000 for <static IP #1> port 143, connect from 127.0.0.1 po rt 3590, nchannels 3 debug3: channel 2: status: The following connections are open: #1 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 fd 6/7 cfd -1) #2 direct-tcpip: listening port 3000 for <static IP #1> port 143, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 3590 (t3 r-1 i0/0 o0/10 fd 9/9 cfd -1) debug3: channel 2: close_fds r 9 w 9 e -1 c -1 debug1: Connection to port 3000 forwarding to socks port 0 requested. debug2: fd 9 setting TCP_NODELAY debug3: fd 9 is O_NONBLOCK debug3: fd 9 is O_NONBLOCK debug1: channel 2: new [dynamic-tcpip] debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 0 debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 3 debug2: channel 2: decode socks5 debug2: channel 2: socks5 auth done debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: need more debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 0 debug2: channel 2: pre_dynamic: have 10 debug2: channel 2: decode socks5 debug2: channel 2: socks5 post auth debug2: channel 2: dynamic request: socks5 host <static IP #1> port 143 command 1 channel 2: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed debug1: channel 2: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 3000 for <static IP #1> port 143, connect from 127.0.0.1 po rt 3591, nchannels 3 debug3: channel 2: status: The following connections are open: #1 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 fd 6/7 cfd -1) #2 direct-tcpip: listening port 3000 for <static IP #1> port 143, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 3591 (t3 r-1 i0/0 o0/10 fd 9/9 cfd -1) debug3: channel 2: close_fds r 9 w 9 e -1 c -1 ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your help
