Description

I have been running AlmostVPN all day long, i.e., for 8 hours at a time. It works great, except that over the course of the day, it disconnects from the SSH server (Cygwin SSHD) a few times. I'm not sure a) why it's disconnecting or b) why it isn't automatically retrying the connection.

When I go into the preferences panel and press Start, everything starts working again. This is true whether I do it immediately after the failure or a few minutes later.

Here's a snippet from my Console: AlmostVPN : xxxxx@xxxxxxx.dyndns.org : SSH_PID : 29005

Change History

11/09/05 17:08:50 changed by andrei

  • cc set to david@colettas.org.
  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.
  • milestone set to AlmostVPN 0.9.3.

What was happening is that AlmostVPN was reacting on "channel level" messages like:

channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Operation timed out
...

I think I fixed it in 0.9.3. (should be out to public consumption in a few hours )
