This is horrible and should *NEVER* be done, assuming any network not
physically controlled by you is between you and the SOCKS proxy
server[0], simply based on the request (and authentication if you

may be ok (depending on your threat model).  SOCKS to a VPS somewhere
is essentially always a bad idea.
