On windows, 127.0.0.1 isn't relayed through proxy tunnel

[BigSully]

ssh -o ProxyCommand='connect -d -S 192.168.11.9:1080 %h %p' -p 20022 [email protected] This command works on my macOS, but fails on MINGW64(git bash). Turns out the make_localnet_as_direct function is compiled on windows, which makes the connect command on windows to not relay 127.0.0.1 traffic through the proxy server.

Can we make this behavior of relaying local net consistent across different platforms?

Debug info on MINGW64:

I have same problem on this, i need to skip make_localnet_as_direct on Windows.

we can add an option in windows platform to disable it.
