I would suggest not using "ssh" in the package name. The software can be
used for many other things than just providing a clean TCP tunnel for
ssh. In fact it can be used by almost any application which needs a
clean TCP tunnel.
Another note: It might be worth mentioning that its HTTP-Proxy tunnel
won't work with content-inspection firewalls which will drop any
connection established by a CONNECT which do not use SSL. Many companies
use such firewalls.
