Ssh isn't just for interactive terminal sessions. It's not that uncommon for people to use ssh tunnels in situations where proper VPNs etc. are blocked. Others use sftp or tunnels plus a SOCKS proxy in one specific application. In those applications, performance regressions are a legitimate concern precisely because it's not expected to be all that great to begin with.
- ryanlol 7y agoIf you’re concerned about performance then sftp or SSH tunnels simply aren’t the right tools for you.
- notacoward 7y agoIf the "better" tools are unavailable, then it's the right tool. Your needs and priorities are not the only ones that exist anywhere in the universe.
- ryanlol 7y agoI really don’t see a problem here. If you have some weird edge case that requires a less secure version of OpenSSHd then you should either stick with the old version or fork the new version.
