When you are running a SOCKS proxy through ssh, you are not doing TCP over TCP. We are talking about things like OpenVPN which can do TCP over TCP, but that is generally a bad idea. It's default mode is TCP over UDP, as it should be.

Are you sure? SSH uses TCP, and encapsulates the web traffic which also uses TCP... in what way is that not TCP over TCP?


Here, read this: https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle#theory-of-operation

"TCP-over-TCP" and "TCP carried on something that happen to be TCP" turn out to be two very different things.


Thank you for the link :)
