Dim ssh As New ChilkatSsh

' To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
' properties prior to connecting:
' The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
' IP address:
ssh.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
ssh.SocksPort = 1080
ssh.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
ssh.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"

' Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
' of the SOCKS proxy server:
ssh.SocksVersion = 5

' Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
' SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

' Connect to an SSH server via a SOCKS proxy:
Dim hostname As String
Dim port As Long

' Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
hostname = "192.168.1.108"
port = 22

Dim success As Long
success = ssh.Connect(hostname,port)
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print ssh.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Your application is now connected to an SSH server 
' through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy.
