I don't see any advantage over plain "-o 'ProxyJump box.in.the.middle'"? I guess this is supposed to buffer things? But then again, that's what "tail -f" is for…

More confused than anything else…

It would be great for beam.ssh.camp to implement this (which would require no software, just configuring OpenSSH).

This is for cases where the server in the middle can't ssh into the target server

Given a local machine and two remote machines: ssh remote2 -J remote1. This will connect to remote1 as a normal SSH connection, but then port forward a new connection to remote2 via that connection. Traffic leaving localhost is double-encrypted, and remote1 cannot see the data.

Disadvantage: remote1 must be able to connect to remote2. In this (ssh.beam.camp) software, remote2 can be in a place where accepting incoming connections is not possible.
