Indeed. I may disable comments on that page, it is wholly
inefficient (apparently my notification system doesn't work,
and then when I ask further questions (such as for request
to support RDP) I get no answers).

I'd guess it takes too long for the proxy to open the
connection and start sending data, then sslh times out and
connects to ssh. Try increasing the timeout in sslh (with
option --timeout) to 5 seconds.
