VPN with delay

Jan 25, 2008 4 Replies

hi, i'm going to set-up an OpenVPN server with routed mode (tun). One of the criteria for the user of the VPN is that each connection can only last 20 minutes. I don't know if i may specify that in the OpenVPN configuration or iptables or something else. Could you please help me about that ?



Thanks a lot.


Do you mean that the OpenVPN connection *must* be (forcefully) disconnected after it's been up for 20 minutes?

hi and thanks, yes i meant that. Each connexion may only last 20 min.

best regards.

Conversation determined that:

How exact must this "20 minutes" be? Could it be 21 minutes? What about

25 minutes, or even more? Could it be 19 minutes?

Chris

it could be 19 minutes, 20 minutes is the maximum. Do you think i have to manage that with an crontab that kill processes or maybe it's ok with iptables or something else ?
