SSL VPN Timeout

I’ve seen other posts on this in this sub:
https://old.reddit.com/r/sonicwall/comments/1bpex3o/ssl_vpn_os_7_inactivity_timeout/

I just haven’t found a satisfactory answer.

TZ670 on latest 7.1.3 firmware.

I have a 20 mintue timeout set where I’d like to disconnect idle SSL VPN users after 20 min of inactivity.

In my testing, I have left a PC connected to the VPN where nothing is being done, yet it never disconnects.

I’ve played around with various settings on the Device-Users-Settings-User Sessions- “Don’t allow traffic from these services to prevent user logout on inactivity”, but haven’t found something that will work yet.

Does this setting even apply to SSL VPN? Or is it for users logged in to the firewall?

Does anyone have this working and can offer advice?

Are you set to Tunnel All? If yes, a simple DNS request or Microsoft Telemetry signal would keep the tunnel up and connected.

Take a look at this KB. It may be relevant. SSLVPN timeout

Good point. I will try disabling Tunnel All
