iSSH allows you to turn any remote SSH server into a SOCKS proxy.
iSSH is a GUI app for the “ssh -D” command, it frees you from the tedious command line options.
Now you can turn your remote SSH server into a SOCKS proxy without touching the command line, the settings are remembered automatically and you can start/stop/restart the SOCKS proxy easily.
You can start using iSSH in a few steps:
1. Configure iSSH
2. Start the SOCKS proxy service
