Essentially the ssh -D option, dynamic application level port forwarding.

I use it to set up basic tunnel encryption on wifi networks that I can use with my web browser.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing mosh forwarding and session architecture, then determine the scope needed for SOCKS5 dynamic application-level forwarding. Done should mean browser traffic can use an ssh -D-like tunnel through mosh, with behavior and validation defined.
