~~It all tunnels over SSH, what is the security risk compared to other protocols that also go over SSH?~~

(is it possible to strike text?) Thanks for the correction, I misunderstood how the protocol Mosh uses works. SSH is apparently used for initiation. Caution seems wise.

It's not all over SSH. It uses SSH to authenticate and start a server daemon, which it then connects to over UDP. The UDP connection is not tunneled through the SSH connection.

Thank you for this answer. I apparently missed this important distinction on my first pass through.
