Due to the configuration of the university network, I have to first connect to a frontend, then to a node and then to a VM. To make this easy to use, I set ProxyJump in my .ssh/config. This works really well for ssh. However, it does not seem to be recognized by x2go. I have to manually tunnel the ssh port from the VM on my localhost to be able to connect there via x2go. The same is for pyhoca-cli 0.5.0.3.

There is currently nothing that we could do about this.

The underlying SSH implementations - libssh for X2Go Client and paramiko for PyHoca - do not support ProxyJump (yet.)

libssh might at some point do this, paramiko probably won't at all[0].
