Winbox Idle Session Option

Fri May 27, 2022 5:17 am

Is it possible to configure Winbox to disconnect idle sessions?

We have some Tiks behind metered connections, and Winbox burns through data and its very easy to leave a session left open

There's no IDLE detection on winbox sessions, but you could essentially have a script that enables a firewall rule for the winbox port for x seconds every y minutes - clunky in that you could kick yourself off in the middle of a job, and possibly lock yourself out of winbox (assuming you have a 2nd method of access though to re-enable) but would solve your issue of long sessions.
