Description

Does this repository facilitate the usage of torify, or torsocks such that the ssh syncing can (easily) be done over tor?

For completeness; the `xy`-problem for me can be summarised as:
1. I am behind a default gateway over which I have no control at this point in time,
2. I currently do not have access to a VPN in which I can set up port forwarding to my local IP-address.
3. Additionally, I often change IP addresses, so it would be nice to have a constant address at which I can be reached regardless of my IP address, which is provided by tor.

Since default ssh works over tor using torsocks/torify, I thought this wonderful repository might too. Hence, the question.

Research direction

Start by checking how sshync invokes SSH and whether torify or torsocks can wrap that entry point. Compare the existing SSH syncing flow with the stated Tor use case, then define what successful syncing over Tor would require and how it could be verified.
