I don't know what teamviewer does.  Can you explain?  Particularly in
the scenario you are talking about.

Windows boxes now have ssh.  And they can have a large chunk of
certain Linux distros.  But they do ssh natively out-of-the-box.

I've only use ssh as a client on Window with Windows.  But surely
Windows has an ssh server too (what would the shell be? PowerSell?
cmd.exe?).

Why would you bounce through a Windows box?  Surely Windows is a bad
choice for a gateway.  Lots of people think Windows boxes are fine:

1) on a desktop (not me)

2) on a server for services that are designed to run on Windows.

But not a gateway/router.
