does SOCKS5 provide encryption?



Yes.


Between the client and the SOCKS5 proxy? Of course using the SSH SOCKS proxy will encrypt data, I was rather thinking to a plain SOCKS5 proxy. Are there clients and servers supporting SOCKS-level encryption between the client and the proxy? I didn't see that possibility the last time I've read the SOCKS standard (but it was a few years ago).
