What happens if I connect to udp port via ssh socks tunnel?

On the client, I execute ssh -D 1234 [email protected]_server
Then I go to firefox, configure it there, socks5 proxy 127.0.0.1:1234
For example, I'm watching a stream and I need to connect to the udp port. What will happen? How will the udp stream go? (I just read that ssh tunnels don't support udp, is that correct?)

SSH only gives you a TCP tunnel. Other than TCP, no other type of traffic can be passed through it.
PS: There is a tricky way to forward DNS (which works over UDP by default) via SSH. To do this, you need to install a DNS server on the local machine that can communicate with Upstream via TCP. And register this server in the DNS settings for the Internet connection.
