Too much manual work.

When using a ~/.ssh/config file

HOST VPS-4-IPaddress user root ProxyJump VPS-3-IPaddress HOST VPS-3-IPaddress user root ProxyJump VPS-2-IPaddress HOST VPS-2-IPaddress user root ProxyJump VPS-1-IPaddress HOST VPS-1-IPaddress user root ProxyJump VPS-2-IPaddress 

It's also possible to chain the proxies in one line

HOST VPS-4-IPaddress user root ProxyJump VPS-1-IPaddress,VPS-2-IPaddress,VPS-3-IPaddress 

Then you can use

ssh -D9999 root@VPS-4-IPaddress 

Or without a .ssh/config file, directly on the command line (-J is equal to -o ProxyJump=)

ssh -D9999 VPS-4-IPaddress -J VPS-1-IPaddress,VPS-2-IPaddress,VPS-3-IPaddress 

The manual way

You need to build local forwards from one machine to the next one.
The socks proxy will only be defined on the last one.

Client:> ssh -L9999:localhost:9999 root@VPS-1-IPaddress

VPS-1:> ssh -L9999:localhost:9999 root@VPS-2-IPaddress

VPS-2:> ssh -L9999:localhost:9999 root@VPS-3-IPaddress

VPS-3:> ssh -D9999 root@VPS-4-IPaddress

But the tunnel is more or less the same like the automatic variant.
