> It is much easier to get UDP around firewalls and it can't be blocked easily in the same way most VPN protocols or SSH can. I have yet to find a network where I can't get my terminal UDP packets through.

Err, not in my world. Many hotels block udp. Amtrak's on train internet does too (they block a lot of tcp ports as well, and proxy http to stop videos).

I haven't tried recently, but most guest networks (at conferences, companies I visited, etc) did not let UDP through.

you can proxy UDP over HTTP proxies, which is supported by OpenVPN and is what I do. so if you have web access you have SSH over UDP access.

Of course you can do that. But in the context we are discussing - that of Mosh - does it still provide any benefit over regular ssh/tcp?
