I want to have a stable ssh connection to a server where I do things. That would last for days or weeks.
In general, one can set TCP keepalive to more than 7200 seconds:
Socket reset by peer ever 2 hours
In MobaXterm, there are two checkboxes for maintaining a stable connection:
- Enable SSH keepalive (send data every 60 seconds to avoid disconnections)
- Workaround for "connection reset by peer" issue (stripped-down encryption algorithms list)
I used the first and my connection was "reset by peer".
Today I realised that I should use the second as well to keep my ssh connection alive for a day.
But what is this workaround ?
What this has anything to do with encryption algorithms ?
Enable SSH Keepalivestill got ssh disconnect sometimes. where did you find the checkboxWorkaround for "connection reset by peer" issue?Fix Connection Issues, and default checked for me. It's in the same place as theSSH keepaliveconfig (app settings -> SSH tab -> SSH settings box)
