An alternative way to forward local connections to remote hosts is
to use \I{dynamic port forwarding}dynamic SOCKS proxying. For
this, you will need to select the \q{Dynamic} radio button instead
of \q{Local}, and then you should not enter anything into the
\q{Destination} box (it will be ignored). This will cause PuTTY to
listen on the port you have specified, and provide a SOCKS proxy
service to any programs which connect to that port. So, in
particular, you can forward other PuTTY connections through it by
setting up the Proxy control panel (see \k{config-proxy} for

to use \I{dynamic port forwarding}dynamic SOCKS proxying. In this
mode, PuTTY acts as a SOCKS server, which SOCKS-aware programs can
connect to and open forwarded connections to the destination of their
