hi! ssh works very well for me in Tails. this was confirmed by many Tails users. what makes you think additional software is needed?

You are correct , ssh works natively in tails and any other linux distro with openssh/ssh installed. But you are not making an anonymous connection. To be anonymous ssh you need connect-proxy + tor.

see following info:

:)

In tails, connections are either routed through tor or there's no connection at all. So, if you can get a working ssh connection from the built-in ssh client, it's absolutely working through tor and therefore anonymous.
