ProxyCommand parameter in config not used, cannot use ssh proxy jump host

[ivanpavlina]

Affected Version

1.0.1

Expected Behavior

SSH connection should be established though defined ssh proxy jump host

Current Behavior

Mole tries to connect directly to host without proxy and fails

Steps to Reproduce

~/.ssh/config entry:

Host test-server
   User             myuser
   Hostname         10.0.0.4
   ProxyCommand     ssh [email protected] nc %h %p

user@DESKTOP-XXXXXX:~$ mole start local --verbose --source :1234 --destination :1234 --server test-server --key ~/.ssh/id_rsa
DEBU[0000] using ssh config file from: /home/user/.ssh/config
DEBU[0000] server: [name=test-server, address=10.0.0.4:22, user=myuser]
DEBU[0000] tunnel: [channels:[[source=127.0.0.1:1234, destination=127.0.0.1:1234]], server:10.0.0.4:22]
DEBU[0000] known_hosts file used: /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts

Mole is trying to directly connect to 10.0.0.4 for which I don't have direct access, I have to use proxy jump host on 10.0.0.1
Is this something you would consider implementing?

Hi @ivanpavlina, that tis expected since mole does not understand ProxyCommand.

It is definitively a nice feature for mole and I can add it to the roadmap.

And thanks you for contributing for the project!
