386.3_x auto logout and ssh timeout issues

[Markster]

RT-AC86U. I have noticed that in version 386.3 and 386.3_2 both Auto Logout and ssh timeout is not working.
I don't know if this is an issue only for me or it is a bug. Can anyone verify?

On my RT-AC86U with a clean install of 386.3_2, the Auto Logout works fine. On the other hand, the SSH Idle Timeout doesn't (at least when using Windows PowerShell to SSH).

Many SSH clients send a keep-alive packet that prevents a connection from timing out.

Ah, that explains what I'm experiencing with Windows PowerShell. Thank you!

Yes, that would be the case. I am using MacOS and in the past ssh would timeout. With the newest version of macos the defaults must have changed.

However, browser session auto logout is something different. The setting I have is for 30 minutes and it does not expires the http session.

The timeout works for me. Of course it depends which page you've left your browser on because some of them don't timeout by design.
