[mosh-users] Mosh & firewall

[Rayson Ho]

I'm reading the "Mosh: An Interactive Remote Shell for Mobile Clients"
paper, which says, "To bootstrap an SSP connection, the user first
logs in to the remote host using conventional means, such as SSH or
Kerberos. From there, the user or her script runs the server: an
unprivileged process that chooses a random shared encryption key and
begins listening on a UDP port."

Seems like this means that the firewall needs to be configured to
allow this, and for NAT connections, port forwarding needs to be
configured to handle this??

I *think* UDP hole punching should be able to handle this, but then we
need a public server for the initial connection handshake...
