connect to devices behind an SSH Bastion Host by using ssh ProxyCommand or ProxyJump

[saveriogzz]

Hi Balena peeps!

I am trying to see my devices on my balenaCloud dashboard but I'm struggling because the network that the devices are connect to is pretty closed and hosts can be reached just by first passing through a Bastion Host. Which I normally do by having either a ProxyJump or a ProxyCommand set in my .ssh/config file, for example:

Host mybastion
    HostName linux-bastion-ex.domain.somewehere
    User saymynamesaymyname

Host somehostonthenetwork
  HostName some-host.department.domain.somewehere
  User saymynamesaymyname
  # either
  ProxyCommand ssh mybastion -W %h:%p
  # or
  ProxyJump mybastion

Is there any chance to set this option on balenaCloud/openBalena? I see that there is support for proxies, however I'm not sure it is technically the same thing!

Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate it! openBalena is a fantastic project 🐳
