Mosh with port forwarding (like SSH) When connecting to my development server via `ssh`, I can forward remote ports to local ports via: ssh my-user@example.com -L 5432:localhost:5432 However I'd rather use `mosh` because my connection tends to drop. I tried extending my usual `mosh` command (that works) with the `--ssh` parameter: mosh --ssh "ssh -L 5432:localhost:5432" my-user@example.com Which gets me connected without error - but doesn't do anything for my ports. **Is there a way to make port forwarding work when connecting via`mosh`?**

I found an open issue for this exact feature at Mosh's GitHub. And an open bounty at bountysource currently at $616.

So it looks like it's not possible yet.

As a workaround for my SSH disconnect issue I added the following lines to my server's `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`:


ClientAliveInterval 60 # send null packet every x seconds to clients
ClientAliveCountMax 720 # time them out after doing so y times


Followed by a restart of the SSH daemon and a re-login via SSH.


sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
sudo service ssh restart
sudo systemctl restart ssh


This of course doesn't help with situations like changing cell towers on mobile connections like mosh does.
