For starters, man mosh-server and man mosh-client. On the server run: mosh-server new -p $randomport -- $shellprogram you get an result like QzdRHbAWzL7eRobi75DCrz On the client you run: MOSH_KEY=QzdRHbAWzL7eRobi75DCrz mosh-client $serverip $radomport done. Note that $serverip has to be an ip, no hostname resolution. How you get the key from one side to the other is up to you. Afaiks mosh-server does not allow to set the MOSH_KEY to a specific value. > The reasons users prefer not to use ssh could be because it is > plain out blocked.

So it doesn't block outbound port scans et al. *great* I assume that this traffic limitiation is applied on all ports? Setting up ssh server on non-standard ports would be too easy to accomplish. In general case, the ssh traffic is limited to an handshake and the transmission of the MOSH_KEY token, not that much traffic. But, ports hopping at a randomized, either pre-determined or as counter-measure would be funny to have. Just like radio style frequency hopping.
