#2Any chance this work can be upstreamed into mainline SSH? I'd love to have better performance for SSH, but I'm probably not going to install and remember to use this just for the few times it would be relevant.

Also upstream is extremely well audited. That's a huge benefit i don't want to loose by using fork.

OpenSSH is from the people at OpenBSD, which means performance improvements have to be carefully vetted against bugs, and, judging by the fact that they're still on fastfs and the lack of TRIM in 2025, that will not happen.

this, I'm not going to start using a random ssh fork with modified ciphers.

Unlikely. These patches have been carried out-of-tree for over a decade precisely because upstream OpenSSH won't accept them.

Depending on your hardware architecture and security needs, fiddling with ciphers in mainline might improve speed.

#10Earlier quoted context omitted.
It may still be sensible if you only expose it to private networks.
So could this safely be used on Tailscale then ? I’m very curious though also a bit paranoid.
It could safely be used on public internet, all this fearmongering has no basis under it.
Better question is 'does it have any actual improvements in day-to-day operations'? Because it seems like it mostly changes up some ciphering which is already very fast.
