    I never followed up here… This is working great. I set it to 3600s (1hr) and all of the issues with our other apps have gone away.

    We only have a few forwards anyway, so I'm not too concerned about the resources consumed by those nc's.

    I'd second the suggestion to tuck this into the GUI somewhere, it's a pretty useful feature. Though, if it were superseded by Dhauzimmer's patch, that could be even better.

    Thanks again.

      Will consider the GUI option after I pass it by other devs.

      The patch was submitted to coreteam but had the potential to break QOS and Multi-Wan so it is not quite ready yet.  This is going from memory..  I am terribly sorry if I am confusing two different incidents.

        Why not just default it to 1 hour?  I'd rather not see yet another knob that people will twist for no good reason exposed.

          I am perfectly fine with this as long as no DOS potential is present?

            Question

            I see in blogspot that you change NAT reflection timeout to 2000 by default, so I decide to remove line <reflectiontimeout>2000</reflectiontimeout> (work with this line) from config.xml. I reboot my server machine and try connecting to battle.net (the way I testing nat reflection timeout) with 2 users on LAN.  After 20s LAN user joined in game has been disconnected.

            So question, am I need to install fresh copy of pfsense or is this normally and I just put those line back to config.xml?

            I using last version of pfsense 1.2 RC2 18.8.2007

            Thx

              You cannot simply remove the line.  It needs a value.

                As far as I see this line is optional and only change default value to value that you want. So I thought that now when default is 2000s line in config.xlm for reflection time out isn’t needed any more. Am I wrong?

                  Yes, that is wrong.  If you do not want a timeout, set it to 0.

                    Ok and what is default timeout if there is no line in config.xml? I asking because you add that options in past »I added a hidden option for controlling this«.

                      300 seconds IIRC.
