    All of the SSH traffic is encrypted between your client and SSH server,
    including client->proxy.

    The proxy connect command and the *start* of the SSH protocol are always
    plain text, so an observer can determine that you're using SSH and what
    you're connecting to, but not much other than that.

usually comes from bad judgement.
