Mosh client: sessions that survive network changes
Wardterm includes a free Mosh client: the session stays open from Wi-Fi to cellular, through sleep and train tunnels, and you keep typing.
Wardterm has its own Mosh client, compatible with the standard mosh-server. It signs in over SSH, starts mosh-server and then talks to it over encrypted UDP. Turn it on for one server or a whole group.
The session moves into tmux on the server. If the connection drops, Wardterm attaches to it again. What already runs here stays in this shell.

What it does
Survives network changes
Wi-Fi to cellular, a new address, waking from sleep: the session carries on, with nothing to reconnect.
Typing that feels local
On a slow connection what you type shows at once, underlined until the server confirms it. Choose per server: on a slow connection, always or never.
Signed in over SSH
The server is identified by its host key, as on every connection.
Clear when the server goes quiet
A bar says how long the server has been silent, and what you type is delivered when the network is back. If mosh-server is missing, the app says how to install it.
Per server or group
Turn Mosh on where it helps, and set the server's own mosh-server command if needed.
Questions about the Mosh client
Is Mosh included in the free plan?
Yes, Mosh is part of the Free plan, like SSH, SFTP and Telnet.
What do I need on the server?
mosh-server, packaged as mosh by most Linux distributions, and the UDP ports 60000 to 61000 open. You sign in with your usual SSH login.
What happens to a session when the connection drops?
Choose Keep This Session in the menu of the session, or accept it when Wardterm offers it for an AI agent or a long command. The session and its programs keep running on the server, and Wardterm returns to it when the network is back. Free on every plan; the server needs tmux.
