There is a fixed timeout of 8 hours after which your VPN connection is disconnected. There is also a non-activity timeout of 20 minutes which takes effect if no network traffic passes for 20 minutes. If you have a legitimate requirement for a VPN connection which is not subject to these timeouts, please contact net-admin@slac.stanford.edu to request an exception. Your VPN will also be disconnected if your system goes to sleep. Your IT Department Admin Support can assist you if you need to adjust the sleep settings of your system, they can be contacted at itds-support@slac.stanford.edu .
I'm using Mac OSX, can I use SLAC's VPN Service?
