is there a way to manipulate the time before using fallback gateway?

[Zhann]

More a question than an issue ..

Love this tool btw.

Been playing with ConnectTimeout: 10 but that doesn't seem to work:

Connection timed out during banner exchange

Hi @Zhann, thank you for your feedback,

Can you give me an (anonymised) example of configuration file ?

[moul]

Note that when you are setting the gateways field; assh will iterate over all the entries of this field until the the first successful connection.
So technically, the first host is not a fallback, but the second one, the third one... are

If you want to have "fallback gateways", you need to put the magic "direct" host as the first entry of this field, so assh will try to connect without gateways before trying the rest of the list.

Do you find that odd? I may write a note on the README.md if this is not 100% clear as it is for me the feature I'm using the most every days :)

example:

hosts:
  aaa:
    gateways:
    - bbb
    - ccc
    - direct
    - eee

ssh aaa will try until first success:

• ssh bbb -> ssh aaa
• ssh ccc -> ssh aaa
• ssh aaa
• ssh eee -> ssh aaa

I just released a new version here: https://github.com/moul/advanced-ssh-config/releases/tag/v2.2.0

Can you get the latest version and run these commands:

$ assh proxy --dry-run <your-host>
$ assh info

For example, here is mine:

$ assh proxy --dry-run test-ccc
ERRO[0000] Cannot use gateway '2.3.4.5': dry-run: Execute [ssh 2.3.4.5 -- nc 1.2.3.8 22]
ERRO[0000] Cannot use gateway '3.4.5.6': dry-run: Execute [ssh 3.4.5.6 -- nc 1.2.3.8 22]
ERRO[0000] Failed to use 'direct' connection: dry-run: Golang native TCP connection to '1.2.3.8:22'
ERRO[0000] Cannot use gateway '4.5.6.7': dry-run: Execute [ssh 4.5.6.7 -- nc 1.2.3.8 22]
FATA[0000] Proxy error: No such available gateway

$ assh info

Hi @Zhann, #116 should fix this issue, can you get the latest version and give a new try ?

[Zhann]

Hi @moul, sorry for not replying earlier. Yes, this fixed my issue! Thank you very much.
