**Note** this works only for SSH agent forwarding. Real GPG forwarding (encryption/decryption) is actually not supported. See the [weasel-pageant](https://github.com/vuori/weasel-pageant) readme for further information.
#### Use ssh-agent or use S.weasel-pegant
One way to forward is just `ssh -A` (still need to eval weasel to setup local ssh-agent), and only relies on OpenSSH. In this track, `ForwardAgent` and `AllowAgentForwarding` may be involved. Otherwise they are of no use or even harm the forwarding. See [SSH Agent Forwarding](#remote-machines-ssh-agent-forwarding) for more info.
Another way is to forward the gpg ssh socket, as described below.

#### Remote host configuration
You may have to add the following to the shell rc file. On Linux, this is only required on the laptop/workstation where the YubiKey is plugged in, and **NOT** on the remote host server that you connect to; in fact at least on some Linux distributions, changing SSH_AUTH_SOCK on the server breaks agent forwarding.
You may have to add the following to the shell rc file.
```
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
```
Add the following to `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`:
```
AllowAgentForwarding yes
StreamLocalBindUnlink yes
