I've Googled and searched far and wide for some sort of solution to this problem; however, the best answer I got is There's nothing that can be done.Of course, that's unsatisfying, so here goes:I've set up an SSH daemon back at home and I want to SSH tunnel off of it. SSH works without issues. The tunnel doesn't seem to have issues, either. The command executed locally is...~$ ssh root@xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa -p 53256 -D11323The stuff at home has a router that port-forwards port 53256 to my ssh server at port 22. Everything connects fine, and the tunnel ostensibly works.On the machine, I put a SOCKS proxy for 127.0.0.1:11323, and I can access sites fine.However, when accessing particular websites such as ubuntuforums.org or fedoraforums.org, the connection hangs considerably. Then, the shell that has the ssh command spits out the error in the title, and the connection just fails. After reading into it, the closest answer I got was there's an issue with server load or improper configuration. However, it baffles me that there's absolutely nothing I can do to connect to those websites through my tunnel.With all that said, could anyone perhaps provide a solution?EDIT: This is the output with SSH's -vv option enabled up to the failure: debug1: Connection to port 11323 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.debug2: fd 11 setting TCP_NODELAYdebug2: fd 11 setting O_NONBLOCKdebug1: channel 5: new [dynamic-tcpip]debug2: channel 5: pre_dynamic: have 0debug2: channel 5: pre_dynamic: have 3debug2: channel 5: decode socks5debug2: channel 5: socks5 auth donedebug2: channel 5: pre_dynamic: need moredebug2: channel 5: pre_dynamic: have 0debug2: channel 5: pre_dynamic: have 23debug2: channel 5: decode socks5debug2: channel 5: socks5 post authdebug2: channel 5: dynamic request: socks5 host ubuntuforums.com port 80 command 1debug1: Connection to port 11323 forwarding to socks port 0 requested.debug2: fd 12 setting TCP_NODELAYdebug2: fd 12 setting O_NONBLOCKdebug1: channel 6: new [dynamic-tcpip]debug2: channel 6: pre_dynamic: have 0debug2: channel 6: pre_dynamic: have 3debug2: channel 6: decode socks5debug2: channel 6: socks5 auth donedebug2: channel 6: pre_dynamic: need moredebug2: channel 6: pre_dynamic: have 0debug2: channel 6: pre_dynamic: have 23debug2: channel 6: decode socks5debug2: channel 6: socks5 post authdebug2: channel 6: dynamic request: socks5 host ubuntuforums.com port 80 command 1channel 5: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed outdebug2: channel 5: zombiedebug2: channel 5: garbage collectingdebug1: channel 5: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 11323 for ubuntuforums.com port 80, connect from ::1 port 56088 to ::1 port 11323, nchannels 7channel 6: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed outdebug2: channel 6: zombiedebug2: channel 6: garbage collectingdebug1: channel 6: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 11323 for   ubuntuforums.com port 80, connect from ::1 port 56090 to ::1 port 11323, nchannels 6
