Configure SSH to use HTTP proxy

Suppose that I have a HTTP proxy server running at localhost:1080 and I want to connect to example@example.com via SSH.

In CLI

Use the following command:

ssh example@example.com -o "ProxyCommand=nc -X connect -x localhost:1080 %h %p"

In .ssh/config

Add the following line to a config:

ProxyCommand nc -X connect -x localhost:1080 %h %p
