Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I use openSSH to connect to a batch of remote servers on Windows Terminal, the tab titles share the same name OpenSSH SSH client, it's hard to navigate the bash. If I use telnet to connect to a remote server, the tab name will switch to the remote server IP address. When I quit from the telnet, the title will toggle back to Windows PowerShell again.

I do believe it's a smarter idea to keep them consistent.
