        Which means that devices that stop generating traffic will get removed after 360 minutes.
        Connections will get removed after 720 minutes. As I'm using a portal for a hotel, where 'clients' arrive' and 'clients leave' is somewhat known upfront.
        Btw : a third hidden parameter : make your DHCP lease period twice the hard timeout.

        Also, if a soft time is set, you can omit the hard time out. Or the other way around.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
