I have successfully setup a tunnel over SSH on linux mint, and can browse the web.However, when I try to ssh using the same port, I get:Couldn't establish connection to proxy: Network is unreachable  ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote hostIn my mate-network-properties I have selected manual proxy configuration, and socks host is 127.0.0.1So why doesn't ssh use that proxy information, and can I make it use said proxy?
How do I tunnel SSH over SSH?
ssh;ssh tunneling
You don't need to tunnel ssh. You can ssh to the intermediary host then ssh to anywhere else you need.You can even do it in a single command by forcing allocation of a pseudo-tty using the -t flag:me@inside$ ssh -t intermediary ssh externalLast login: Fri Sep 21 14:13:25 2012 from intermediaryme@external$ logoutConnection to external closed.Connection to intermediary closed.me@inside$ The only down side is that you have multiple SSH sessions. But I can't really see why that would be a problem.
