What does the socks function of openssh hide?

[Mark Lee]

Salutations,

I was recently using openssh 6.8p1-3 for socks tunelling with a public wifi 
hotspot. I attempted to watch youtube but was notified that it was not allowed 
in my area. The socks server I was connected to definitely had the ability to 
connect to youtube, so I concluded the issue was with the public wifi hotspot. 
How much does socks tunneling with openssh obscure?

Command : ssh -ND 4711

Regards,
Mark
