Can you use a LES box as a SOCKS proxy?

Two question really. I read you can use Cloudflare as IPv4 -> IPv6, but..

1) Does this mean I can just SSH into the box via the domain name with PuTTY?

2) If I can, and use it as a SOCKS proxy, will I be able to visit IPv4 websites?

    1) No, cloudflare only proxy http traffic

    2) LES has a shared ipv4, so just set up your tunnel and you will be able to connect to ipv4 addresses

    1.
    Yes and no. If you change your sshd port to one of the assigned ports you will be able to connect to your box using the domain name.
    If you keep your sshd port at 22 you will not be able to connect to your box using the domain name. (Unless you have ipv6 from your home or office and add a AAAA record).

    1. If you setup your SOCKS to use one of your assigned ports you can connect using your domain name or the external IP
