Request: support sntrup761x25519 (Simplified NTRU Prime) #247

Closed VA1DER closed 2 months ago

VA1DER commented 2 months ago

OpenSSH's default is now the hybrid Simplified NTRU prime / ed25519 KEX. As the new default, many sites have switched to it and employ it exclusively. It would be beneficial if AVNC supported it for SSH connections

gujjwal00 commented 2 months ago

AVNC uses ConnectBot's SSH library for connections, so it's limited to the schemes supported there.

gujjwal00 commented 2 months ago

However, if you have some other way to start the tunnel, AVNC should be able to use that.

VA1DER commented 2 months ago

Are you capable of running an actual SSH binary? The termux project maintains OpenSSH binaries that will work and could be included with avnc.

gujjwal00 commented 2 months ago

Sorry, that's not a feasable solution. Instead, you can launch AVNC from Termux (for a given IP address or a server already saved in AVNC), after starting the tunnel.
