  • Thanks. SSH client and SSH server are using SSH protocol between them. Can you elaborate "A client (web browser) communicates with the ssh server (via the ssh client)"? How are SOCKS and SSH protocols used together? Commented Feb 7, 2019 at 11:14
  • The originator directly make a TCP connection with SSH client, not SSH server or forward target. @Tim they are not used together, the originator only needs to know SOCKS (connection-less, only used to tell SSH client the forward target as first a few packets) and its own application layer protocol. SSH protocol is purely used between SSH client and SSH server (for authentication, encryption, TCP-multiplexing, etc). Commented Feb 8, 2019 at 15:24
