XFowarding In SSH Windows

[mohityadavx]

I am trying to Xforward in SSH in windows using this link[Uses XMing and PuTTY] I have done everything alright but when i open the PuTTY it says "Network Error: Connection timed"

I have used both my external ip as shown on websites like What Is My IP Address - Shows Your IP Address
as well as internal ip assigned to me by network (its a shared network) as host name field but it doesn't work ! What should I do plz help!

PS:-
1)I dont know what all this means what I have just written above stuff like SSH and XForwarding etc all I know is that I am being told that this will establish secure connections to website I want to surf and hence kinda alternative to proxies.

You don't need to forward X for SOCKS5 proxy.

I don't know exactly the steps for Windows but for Linux, it goes this way:

In terminal, login to your shell with ssh user@server -D port_for_SOCKS_proxy

In your browser, set your SOCKS5 proxy to 127.0.0.1 and port to port mentioned above and done, you have a SOCKS5 proxy.
