Ah, so you're using an SSH proxy/jump host.<br>
I wonder if maybe our code for that is broken somehow?<br>
Is that ssh proxy/jump host a Linux machine or some proprietary solution?<br>
<br>
Could you test by setting up an SSH connection first, like so:<br>
<br>
ssh -p 22 -L2222:[targethostname]:22 johann@ssh.[<a href="http://somehere.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">somehere.org</a>]<br>
<br>
After that connection has been established, please create a new X2Go<br>
session configuration (_don't_ alter the existing one) that connects to<br>
localhost:2222, without setting an SSH proxy, with XFCE as your DE, and<br>
using your "johann" account, but leave all the other options set to<br>
their default values. Then try to use that. Does it change the<br>
speed/responsiveness in any way?<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
