 After every start of WSL, add the key to the SSH agent and unlock it with the password. For example when starting the day, after WSL start
 `ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519`
 
+## Forward agent
+
+Usualy a good idea to forward the agent. With this if using a jump host, you do not need to reenter the password if connect from a host to another host. Add this or create the `~/.ssh/config` file
+```
+Host *
+	ServerAliveInterval 15
+	ForwardAgent yes
+```
+> ServerAlive useful, if the underlying connection closes the TCP sockets, E.G. Cisco EPC3925 or NATted cellular networks. This option sends dummy packet every 15 secs to keep the connection up.

 ## todo
 - Add the ability to ask the key password on login
 - Store the SSH key between restarts (probably requires external packages)
