In my experience ssh works but tunneling over ssh does not. Not sure how they do that. Personally when I am there I only miss Google for programming issues. It is terribly inefficient to use something else imho.

The reason why tunneling over SSH doesn't work very well is because the network is crap. SSH runs on TCP, and TCP doesn't perform well when there's a lot of packet loss. Even for interactive logins it's frustrating without mosh.

One could also distinguish between "normal" SSH and SSH used as a tunnel by used bandwidth.
