While on a train going through a tunnel :) At least that is what I use it for in Switzerland :)

No internet in swiss tunnels? I'm a bit disappointed now.

Yeah, the ISPs don't support tunnelling :(

It's amazing how well mosh can keep connections alive through network outages. I have unbearably unreliable mobile network connection and plain old SSH connections drop regularly but Mosh just keeps on going.

And it doesn't require me to reconnect when I enable/disable my work VPN.

It doesn't. It uses udp, there is no connection to keep alive.

That's why this works.

Yeah, yeah, I know that it works with UDP and what's happening.

What is amazing is how much it makes my day-to-day work with remote machines much more pleasant.
