It's a neat solution, indeed. But is that actually viable and useful? Not sure. First, you need to open firewalls to UDP port ranges. Second, you still need SSH

It's a neat solution, indeed. But is that actually viable and useful?
Not sure.
First, you need to open firewalls to UDP port ranges.
Second, you still need SSH to be in place and reachable.
Third, as soon as you kick off mosh you loose all bells and whistles by SSH (like TCP forwarders, SOCKS proxies etc.).
So my idea is: nice for amateur small infrastructures, pretty useless for real world (cloud) infras. Maybe you can make mosh-reachable a bastion or two, but no more than that.
Nonetheless, i stress, it's a neat idea.

- treesknees 5y agoNot useless, you just need to think about how to use the tool in a different way. I use mosh to login to a stable jump box and then from there use tmux/ssh to branch out all my sessions to cloud infrastructure or other devices that only accept ssh.
- notorandit 5y agoThat's the "bastion" concept. But then you loose all the extra perks sshv2 offers.
