mole also doesn't seem to support DynamicForward for creating SOCKS proxies. Mind you, I'm not sure how it could improve on native ssh for concision:

    ssh -D *:1080 work
Combined with a .pac file that proxies my work domain(s) through the tunnel, it's all the forwarding I ever need.

ETA: largely redundant comment now the parent now also mentions this option. :)

I think it's worth drawing attention to it. It's a very useful feature; just don't tell the network administrators.

NB including

  *:
does mean anyone on your local network (assuming a firewall at the gateway) can use your computer to proxy to work. That's great if you're on a private LAN and want to look at a work site on your phone, but not great at a coffee shop.
