The sshproxy package is a set of proxy connect commands for OpenSSH. The commands provide the ability to relay SSH connections through SOCKS version 5 servers and HTTP 1.0 proxies. The supplied commands ssh-socks5-proxy-connect and ssh-http-proxy-connect are modeled on the Solaris 9 commands of the same name.
The one significant addition is that this implementation of the two commands pay attention to an environment variable SSH_NOPROXY. If it is set the connect commands connect directly to the target host and port without relaying the connection through a gateway. This allows a single ssh config file to be used on a mobile system that may need to use a gateway system only some of the time.
Version 0.3 released.
