Can successfully ssh to server, but mosh hangs

Checklist

Configuration

Blink: v13.5.12.262. Mar 3 2021 iPadOS: 14.4.2 (18D70) iOS: 14.4.2 (18D70) Server OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS x86_64 Server mosh: 1.3.2 MacBook mosh: 1.3.2

Describe the bug

From both my iPhone and iPad, I cannot connect to my Ubuntu server with mosh in Blink. It just sits there forever, and nothing ever happens. I can, however, connect with ssh, and if I don't use a key when I try to connect with mosh I get a password prompt, and it hangs after I enter my password, confirming that the issue appears to be solely with mosh.

From my MacBook, I am able to connect with mosh without any issue, so the issue seems to be connected specifically to Blink.

I don't attempt to connect from my iPad frequently enough to say for sure, but I believe this issue first turned up after the most recent Blink update.

Same issue. I can mosh from MacBook but using blink terminal on iOS, it hangs.

Host OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (focal) Host Mosh Version: 1.3.2-2.1build3 (focal) Blink Version: v13.5.12.262

Both devices (MacBook and iOS) are attempting to ssh to the host along the same network path (same source and target subnets.)

Same, with mosh 1.3.2 on Manjaro but I’m on Blink 15.07.536

A quick update. I was able to solve my specific issue by changing the mosh server config in Blink shell. If I understand this correctly, Blink will ssh into the server, start mosh-server there, then switch to a proper connection via udp with mosh-client.

In arch distributions systemd seems to be messing with services, and to keep sessions alive with mosh you need to execute it through systemd-run systemd-run --scope --user mosh-server new so if you place this bit of code in your blink mosh server config, it should work, assuming that’s the issue.
