[Oisf-users] Trouble with Suricata and SSL VPN

[Leonard Jacobs]

Do you have a suggesting on how much to increase the timeouts? Or just have to experiment with them?  And you are referring to the TCP flow-timeouts, correct?

Thanks.

We have increased the number af-packet threads to 6 from 4 that was set yesterday and we changed the cpu cores setting in suricata.yaml from the default of 1.5 to 2. We are running an i7 processor which has 4 cores and 8 threads.

Does the disconnect interval relate to any of the flow-timeout values in your yaml? If so you can try increasing those, or forcing a keep-alive mechanism in the vpn to stay within the timeout values.
