Tunneling ssh via a SOCKS5 Proxy on Windows

Question

I'm using Windows 7 over my 'restricted' campus network.
I use Heroku Toolbelt to work with heroku projects, which inturn uses git and ssh on port 22.
However, port 22 is blocked in my campus. Can i use a SOCKS proxy like Tor to tunel my ssh and use it properly.
Thanks.
PS: I'm using Windows

I have similar problem and I found this post: http://cms-sw.github.io/tutorial-proxy.html#infrastructure

While I could not find the version of netcat for windows that supports -x option, I found the alternative program ncat.

So,

Install ncat

Edit the config file for ssh, usually found at %HOME%\.ssh\config:

Host hostToYourRepo
    ProxyCommand ncat --proxy hostToYourProxy:1080 %h %p

Enjoy

PS. Options for ncat: https://nmap.org/book/ncat-man-options-summary.html

use ncat, but you should set the proxy type like the following:

ProxyCommand ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p

ProxyCommand "e:/sdk/git/mingw64/bin/connect.exe" -S 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p

you can try connect.exe if you have git installed

For the strict use case of using Git, you can use http/https Git URIs. Git supports proxy settings including authentication.

I'm not sure if Heroku Toolbelt requires ssh though.
