winbox + SOCKSv5 proxy?

For anyone who stumbles upon this as I do for the third time: it is possible to use WinBox via SSH tunnel.
If you use PuTTY, go to Connection, SSH, Tunnels and add a tunnel:

• Source port: your-local-port (say, 8090)
• Destination: mikrotik.local:8291 (i.e, 10.0.0.1:8291)
• Local
• Auto

OpenSSH is more straightforward

• ssh -L local-address:local-port:target-address:target-port
• given same example addresses: ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8090:10.0.0.1:8291

Then connect WinBox to 127.0.0.1:your-local-port (127.0.0.1:8090) and it will connect you to mikrotik.local:8291 (10.0.0.1:8291).

Hi.
That isn’t SOCKSv5 support.
That is TCP port forwarding.
That’s the way I am using Winbox right now, but my question is for SOCKSv5.

There’s still people using Internet Explorer, Windows and even DOS. And even PDP-11s.
