Ok here is the situation:

I have an SSH tunnel to a SOCKS proxy for browsing. So i start up the
ssh tunnel like so:

ssh.exe -p 1578 -c blowfish -N -L 1080:{socks5proxyserver}:1080
{username}@{sshserver}

And I set the socks proxy to 127.0.0.1 in my browser and other apps and
it works fine. 100%

The only thing is java apps do not load when browsing. Here is the
console output:

Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_05
Using JRE version 1.4.2_05 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Documents and Settings\{user}

I am using OpenSSH_3.7.1p1 and dante on Linux as a SOCKS server. I am
guessing it may have something to do with the line:

Caused by: java.net.SocketException: SOCKS: Connection not allowed by
ruleset

But i dont know if it is my SOCKS server or a problem with java and
pointing to localhost for proxy???
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
