Description

Hello,

I manage a shit ton of Linux/Android devices behind a NAT'd 3G network, I just found Mosh now and I was like OMG this is such an awesome tool exactly what I was hoping. For a 3G network the latency and packet loss are the norm. So I happily chose Mosh. But there's a problem with NAT, you need first somehow VPN or tunnel into the intranet and then mosh to individual devices, it would be cool if mosh devices could connect to a centralized server with a public IP, then I can just connect to the central server to connect to each devices.

Is it possible with some kind of hack, and is this feature within the scope of Mosh?
