Question: About the architecture (missing documentation) about sshportal HOT 1 OPEN

Hi,

To be more accurate, I need to adjust something in your schema:

  ssh (client) -------/ Internet /------> sshportal --------/ Private LAN /--------> ssh-server
                     [SSH protocol]                          [Hybrid protocol]

Basically, sshportal is not doing a real SSH connection to the remote host, it only initiate the connection to manage the authentication part + forward env, requests, etc; then as soon as it can, it just creates a direct pipe between the client and the remote server.

Good news -> it allows supporting a lot of features of SSH out of the box

Bad news -> it can have some limitations; and ... I don't know them all :)

As soon as people will list me limitations that I can reproduce, I will try to compute a matrix of what works and what doesn't

from sshportal.
