Description

we do need support for jumping through Jump/bastion hosts. IE SSH -J if done manually
I have tried to look for it but I haven't found any way to do that.

We have to follow the connection pattern of Adminbox -> Jumphost ->target system due to security requirements. Our jumphosts have /bin/false as usershell so we can't log on to them and do a seccond jump

Therefore this request to implement the Jumphost support

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating SSH.NET's connection and session setup, then compare the requested SSH -J behavior with the Adminbox → Jumphost → target pattern. Done means supporting the multi-hop connection without requiring an interactive login or shell on the jumphost.
