[mosh-devel] mosh without ssh?

[Weiwu Zhang]

Hello. I believe many are attracted to mosh like me because they
cannot run ssh, and sad to realize, although advertised as a
replacement of ssh, mosh depends on ssh.

The reasons users prefer not to use ssh could be because it is plain
out blocked. Like in Iran, or stemed, like in China†.

Nobody talked about it in email archive (at least I didn't find). So
is there any plan to dæmonize mosh? Or to write an authenticating
dæmon for mosh. I would write one, but my hands are full for the year.

Best regards.

† If constant data transfer over a threshold is detected, our national
firewall would sometimes "halt" ssh, like giving it a speed of 1 byte
per minute. This is to maintain basic utility of ssh and prevent it
being used as a proxy to access 'harmful content'.
