Re: Using SSH as a simple VPN: timeouts?



So anyway, it was like, 09:21 CEST Jul 13 2006, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Jef Driesen was all like, "Dude,

I'm using ssh with port forwarding

[..]

This works really great, but after some time (a few hours) the ssh
connection is automatically disconnected (mostly after a period of
inactivity on the client). I assume this has to do something with a
timeout on the ssh server?

Is there a firewall, and if so what kind, at some point in between the
two hosts? There might be timeouts for the state tables that tears
down the connection after a certain period without traffic over it.
