13512 :: SSH client through SOCKS5 proxy

  Looking for Nim SSH Client through SOCKS5.

  I've seen nim-socks5, nimSocks, and libssh2. It seems that nim-socks5 and nimSocks gives you a socket but no ssh client it seems that ssh2 wrapper gives you an ssh client but no SOCKS5.

  Did I misunderstand these? How can I an ssh client over SOCKS5 proxy?

  thanks

  You might need to first connect your socket to the socks5 server (with nimSocks.doSocksHandshake), then give this socket to libssh.
