@SRodlund: I just now noticed that Portal:Toolforge/Toolforge quickstart links to this page. I feel like there is useful information here for the technical aspects of configuring ssh, but Toolforge uses a unique set of bastion hosts which are not mentioned on this page. Toolforge also does not require ProxyJump/ProxyCommand connections through the shared Cloud VPS bastions which this page describes. I would like to work with you to find a better way to lead new Toolforge project members into finding the special differences for that project. --BryanDavis (talk) 20:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

@BryanDavis: I looked for the link and can't find it on that page. But did find it here: Help:Toolforge/My_first_Flask_OAuth_tool and here Help:Access_to_Toolforge_instances_with_PuTTY_and_WinSCP. I will remove these links. --SRodlund (talk)

SRodlund it looks like the reference I saw was changed in Special:Diff/1852087 to point at Help:Access to Toolforge instances with PuTTY and WinSCP. --BryanDavis (talk) 23:41, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
