(disclaimer: this information might be years out of date but i think it is still accurate?)

SSH doesn't have a null cipher, and if it did, using it still wouldn't make an SSH tunnel as fast as a TCP connection because SSH has its own windowing mechanism which is actually what is slowing you down. Doing the cryptography at line speed should not be a problem on a modern CPU.

Even though SSH tunnels on your LAN are probably faster than your internet connection (albeit slower than LAN TCP connections), SSH's windowing overhead will also make for slower internet connections (vs rsync or something else over TCP) due to more latency exacerbating the problem. (Whenever the window is full, it is sitting there not transmitting anything...)

So, to answer OP's question:

  • if you want to rsync over SSH, you usually don't need a daemon (or to specify --rsh=ssh as that is the default).
  • if you the reason you want to use the rsync daemon is performance, then you don't want to use SSH. you'll need to open a port for it.
  • besides performance, there are also some rsync features which are only available in "daemon mode". if you want to use those, you have at least 3 options:
    • open a port for your rsync daemon, and don't use SSH (bonus: you also get the performance benefit. downside, no encryption.)
    • setup an SSH tunnel and tell the rsync client it is connecting to a daemon on localhost
    • look at man rsync and read the section referred to by this:
      • The remote-shell transport is used whenever the source or destination path contains a single colon (:) separator after a host specification. Contacting an rsync daemon directly happens when the source or destination path contains a double colon (::) separator after a host specification, OR when an rsync:// URL is specified (see also the USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION section for an exception to this latter rule).

HTH.

there are lots of good articles about this news from other sources.

unfortunately the link in this post is an advertorial for snakeoil: tuta published this for the sole purpose of marketing their non-interoperable encrypted email service which has an incoherent threat model.

they do not work for individual applications

as someone else replied to you earlier, waypipe exists, and is packaged in distros, and does what you're asking for.

There is also a newer thing called wprs, "Like xpra, but for Wayland, and written in Rust": https://github.com/wayland-transpositor/wprs#comparison-to-waypipe which sounds promising

i read it twice and somehow didn't notice the word "do" appears twice 🤡

where would commas go to make it make sense? 🤔

seems rather defaming to say its invincibility and circular shape are "mysterious" when they're both established by law; maybe the volcano can sue The Sun? 🤔
