Description

Maybe I just missed an option, but...

I am using AlmostVPN to setup tunnels to a variety of MySQL servers which reside on the other side of a server which I ssh into. Things get going just fine, but after a few minutes of inactivity the connection closes. I did not have this problem with AlmostVPN .9, but now it's an issue. When the connection closes I have to STOP / START the profile before things will work again.

  • keywords set to keep alive.
  • status changed from new to assigned.
  • version set to 1.0.
  • milestone set to AlmostVPN 1.0 Beta RC3.

It looks like it is true.

For RC3 will add ability to check "Keep Alive" option for SSH Server. When checked it will set SSH_MSG_IGNORE every so often. This should keep connection going.

Can you "guess" how soon connection gets killed? "Few minutes" - how many? I am just wondering if I can hard code interval for SSH_MSG_IGNORE?

Hi - sorry I didn't see the ? until now. I am guessing it gets killed after 3 minutes of inactivity. I've been running it with 3-5 tunnels, all going through a single server and then onto their respective locations on other servers.

Done. New "keep alive" checkbox and "interval" text field added to SSH Server/Options tab.

NOTE: Interval is in seconds. Default value 60 seconds
