DHE re-keying

[calcu007 4]

"Diffie-Hellman key exchange DHE. After the initial key negotiation, re-keying is performed every 60 minutes (this value can be lowered unilaterally by the client) "  Where is that option in the Win version of Eddie, i dont find it?

Custom directive, I'm afraid. 1 hour is the default and used on the servers, so you cannot set it higher than this without needing a complete reconnect. See also the manual:

--reneg-sec n

Renegotiate data channel key after n seconds (default=3600).
 

When using dual-factor authentication, note that this default value may cause the end user to be challenged to reauthorize once per hour.

Also, keep in mind that this option can be used on both the client and server, and whichever uses the lower value will be the one to trigger the renegotiation. A common mistake is to set --reneg-sec to a higher value on either the client or server, while the other side of the connection is still using the default value of 3600 seconds, meaning that the renegotiation will still occur once per 3600 seconds. The solution is to increase --reneg-sec on both the client and server, or set it to 0 on one side of the connection (to disable), and to your chosen value on the other side.
