[mosh-users] How can I mosh over multiple hops (for example, via tunnel or ProxyCommand)?

[David Seaward]

Hi Vincent and Mark,

Thanks for your feedback, it was very helpful. I will look into an SSH
intermediary (mosh-client > mosh-server > ssh > endpoint) as a
solution.

My primary motivation is the lag-friendly mosh interface, rather than
the connection per se, which makes me wonder if both the mosh client
and server could be on my local machine, which itself makes the
tunneled/ProxyCommand ssh connection with a regular tunnel or similar.
The connection benefits are obviously lost, but I suspect even the
lag-friendly interface would be rendered useless. An experiment for
another day.

I have summarized your helpful responses as an answer to my SU
question. Thanks again!

David
