<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Tim. Our tentative thoughts on this are to create "slosh" as a separate program that will fork a lightweight Linux container (with unshare()) in a new network namespace with a TUN device, and gracefully proxy all the network connections initiated from within the container to the server, doing the right thing in the presence of roaming, intermittent connectivity, or multihoming.<div>
<br></div><div><div>We've been doing some testing of this strategy and looks like it will be pretty slick, and we'll be able to support X11 forwarding, SOCKS forwarding, ssh-agent forwarding, etc., without trying to bolt everything onto a remote terminal program. The downside is that it would be Linux-only unless we can figure out how to make similar containers on BSD or OS X. What do you think?</div>

<br>
Firstly I would like to say I love mosh. It really solves the problem of<br>
working with a laptop on the train tethered via 3G where the connection<br>
is up and down like a yoyo and my client IP changes randomly.<br>
<br>
I would like to offer 2 "wishlist" items to the Mosh 2013 Ideas List:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/10o-TLA03bY4cZzEIZR-5wKmBecvYKpOEFRqSJFbIm3M" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/10o-TLA03bY4cZzEIZR-5wKmBecvYKpOEFRqSJFbIm3M</a><br>
<br>
And these are:<br>
<br>
1) To support TCP tunnels aka the -L option in openssh.<br>
<br>
I hold several tunnels open on my train journey to work (to access<br>
secured systems like VMWare management and databases) and sadly, I still<br>
rely on the regular ssh client for this with the expected issues.<br>
<br>
2) To support socksproxy tunnels aka the openssh -D option.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'll humbly leave those ideas with you.<br>
<br>
Kind regards and all the best,<br>
<br>
