Terminate VPN connections after timeframe.

Post by microbit » Tue Aug 09, 2022 6:19 pm

My company has issued a new security policy regarding VPN connections. One of them is to terminate client vpn connections after 12 hours regardless of activity. Also part of that policy is to disconnect vpn clients after 30 minutes of inactivity too. Now I have successfully set the 30 minute inactivity in the client config file. However I am having trouble figuring out a way to disconnect the client VPN connection after 12 hours. Anyone have any ideas on how to configure this part?

OpenVPN does not have such an option to configure.
