Tunneling ssh via a SOCKS5 Proxy on Windows

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


Solution 1:

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,

  1. Install ncat
  2. Edit the config file for ssh, usually found at %HOME%\.ssh\config:

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