Yes, it can cause a problem called TCP Meltdown where the inner TCP and the outer TCP both try resending data and the connection degrades significantly. I think you can work around it, somewhat, by tweaking the TCP timing. But generally it's best to use UDP for the outer protocol when you're tunneling TCP
- Thorrez 3y agoI don't think that's the case here. I think it's just tunneling the data, not the full TCP packets.
- mordechai9000 3y agoI was not aware, thanks.
- jpillora 3y agoCorrect, it’s equivalent to ssh tunneling except there’s some HTTP/websocket wrappers around it
