> a PR with a long discussion https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/pull/696 on why it's not merged

I'm confused. I read the whole thing but couldn't find the specific reason for why it's not been merged. But I assume it's because of the things that were pointed out in the code review comments?

Also, the issue you linked is about SSH Agent forwarding, not port forwarding.

Yes you are 100 correct, I mixed up port and agent forwarding, I’ve needed both at different times and last time it was agent forwarding so got confused.

There is another issue for port forwarding https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/337 but no PR that I’m aware of.

Regarding why it hasn’t been merged, there is a comment on the port forwarding issue which sums it up quite well I think https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/337#issuecomment...

My understanding is that the maintainers prefer doing one thing well (and securely). Which to be honest is something I really appreciate even if it means I might have to figure out some agent and port forwarding workaround :-/ at least I don’t have to worry about if my version of mosh will work with whatever the server runs

Lack of SSH agent forwarding is unfortunately the deal breaker for me..
