      I would like the on machine console (not the web GUI) to auto logout after 30 minutes of inactivity. Just in case I leave it unattended for too long.

      How can I achieve this?
      Thanks!

        That's not going to happen...a firewall is not intended to have a screen 24/7/365 unless it's is highly secured...that's why you're given a web GUI. Meanwhile, you can hide the keyboard.

          Yes, there is nothing included in pfSense to do that.

          You might be able to add something custom for SSH connections to add that but not for as direct console connection as far as I'm aware.
