Eternal Terminal (ET) is a secure remote shell that automatically reconnects after network outages or IP roaming without interrupting the session. It uses SSH for initial connection setup and supports tmux control mode and native scrolling, unlike mosh.

Use cases

• keep a remote terminal session alive across network outages
• roam between wifi and cellular without losing my shell
• use tmux control mode over an unreliable connection
• mosh alternative with native scrolling support
• automatically reconnect ssh sessions without re-attaching tmux

When to choose

• you need sessions that survive network drops and IP changes
• you rely on tmux control mode (tmux -CC) remotely
• you want mosh-like persistence plus native scrolling

When to avoid

• you only need simple one-off remote commands over stable networks
• you cannot install a server daemon on the remote host
• you need SSH features like port forwarding or agent forwarding
