[mosh-devel] Have you considered cases where people cannot open ports or not permitted to run servers yet still need control..

[Peter Dolding]

Mosh by xmmp or equal would be useful when both of these restrictions
apply.   This removes the computer being controlled from requiring a
static IP address or open ports to everyone.   Only friends of the
xmmp account that is the server could be limited to control it.

Yes every extra road block to attacking a server the better.

Makes both end clients.  The machine to be controlled connect like a
bot to xmmp or other options waiting to be talked to by approved
users.

Traffic usage will be a little higher than direct.

Mosh smarts should make its interface work ok over xmmp and other options.

https://github.com/jjo/oxgate  prototype has managed to push openvpn
by xmmp.  So bandwidth required is in xmmp.

Yes this provides a different solution to forwarding.   In fact ssh
forwarding has it hazards.   Like what happens when the forwarding
dies.   xmmp the machines inside can setup up there external
connections.   They don't have to just be connected to one xmmp
network.   Of course the business could provide internal xmmp as well.
