OP here. I made this because I love mosh [1], but was simply unable to convince IT to let me use it on the network. Using mosh sometimes and ssh other times was a real pain for muscle memory, so I figured there must be some way of getting those mosh features without going through UDP port 60000. I was recommended to try autossh, but discovered that was lacking in polish, and wrote this instead. Hope you guys enjoy it too!
