Disconnected clients disappearing from management console - Timeout

Post by lazna » Wed May 08, 2019 8:17 am

Need to peridical (every 5 secs) scan the management console for active clients list, and immediatelly recognize if any clients disconnect. By default, disconnected clients remaining listed in management console for a while (5 or 10 minutes ??). How do I decrease such timeout (to zero if possible)? If this is not possible, is it realible way to recognize disconnected clients by unchanging SENT/(REC) bytes values? OVPN server running on WIndows
