Do you think SSH sucks? Do you think SSH suck specially when you are from an unstable network like what we have in IRAN and when DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) is undergo? OK, I have mosh for you. mosh stands for Mobile Shell. It reconnects itself and you never have to login again. Even if you change your internet connection you are safe and your shell is open :)

Its security is like shell, as it uses shell authentication mechanism for login. You need to open UDP ports 60000 to 61000. Or you can give -p parameter to connect on a specific port:

mosh -p 60010 admin@my_server.com

One of the caveats of mosh is that you cannot scroll to previous commands as its buffer is limited to the window you are viewing itself.

Install it using apt-get install mosh.

For further instruction head over to link below:

#ssh #mosh #terminal

To test mosh, disconnect from internet while you're logged into your server and now wait for a message from mosh that says you last connected to server 10 secs ago, etc. Now connect to internet again. Voila! You're back again. This is amazing :))))
