TCP doesn't lose traffic, it blocks and retransmits (until the connection itself breaks). it cannot lose just the password bytes entered to sudo and still transmit the rest so unless the connection didn't respond to anything at all after it failed to accept your password, your problem is not with the ssh tunnels or due to path/mtu issues themselves.

> TCP doesn't lose traffic, I know. And if it did you would see it in commands you type, too. Not just in invisible passwords. I just said this mystery came to my mind when reading the story of being able to communicate with som web servers but not others. Not trying to claim we have that same MTU problem. Actually now that I type it, I had the problem of half-broken internet myself in the past when roaming internationally with my phone. I needed to use a VPN to contact certain web servers. Need to keep this in mind when roaming becomes relevant again some day... (This happened in the UK and somewhere in the EU and affected e.g. my online banking and a Linux Foundation conference web site. I don't think censorship was the culprit.)
