If your SSH proxy connection is going to be used often, you don't have to pass them as parameters each time. you can add the following lines to ~/.ssh/config

Host foobar.example.com
    ProxyCommand          nc -X connect -x proxyhost:proxyport %h %p
    ServerAliveInterval   10

then to connect use

ssh foobar.example.com
