Description

I have a situation where my laptop is connected to both a wifi and ethernet network, with the ethernet as the primary interface.

My problem is that (for some unknown reason) I can't connect to mosh over the ethernet network, but I can over the wifi network. I'd like to be able to specify that mosh send its traffic over the wifi interface. The SSH side of things can (hopefully) be handled by using the -b flag and the --ssh mosh command (not ideal, but I can live with it).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the mosh traffic path and how a specific interface could be selected, while considering the separate SSH connection. Done means mosh traffic can be bound to the requested interface without requiring SSH to use the same binding.
