I'm another person who's now unintentionally 2degrees customer after being changed over from Myrepublic.

 

I noticed since the change that my ssh sessions drop after a while of inactivity.  It's annoying, I have multiple sessions open almost permanently for tunnelling to my servers. Easily resolved though, I set up a keepalive for them.

 

But since then I've realised it also causes issues with my Home Assistant setup, so I'm going to switch to someone else.

 

Is this a common tactic though? Should I expect this from other providers? Or does correlation not equal causation and I'm barking up the wrong tree?

Could it be related to CG-NAT what IP address range is your connection in?

You could request a static for testing and see if the issue still happens

Why not use a VPN like Tailscale instead of a SSH tunnel?

 

There is also Mosh if you're just after a SSH Shell. This is better at auto recovering in the event of a connection.

 

But something you should see is if your public IP changes when this occurs. This will almost always drop a SSH connection.

I hadn't checked IP changes, but I do know that my IP didn't change all that often - ssh connections would get dropped in less than an hour.

 

Thanks for the heads up about Mosh, I'd not heard of it. But working around an issue that can be resolved properly doesn't seem ideal.

 

I'm changing to Quic, let's see if that helps.
