After 6 hours I don't see any request for a HIP report in openconnect's stdout or stderr.

I've noticed that all my ssh sessions, regardless of when they start

a few times and that seems to be the case).
Do you have some reason to think that this has anything to do with
OpenConnect per se, as opposed to being a limitation of the servers
you're connecting to… or perhaps of some other middlebox on the
network?
All network connections through openconnect disconnect 6 and 9 hours after openconnect is started, regardless of when those network connections began relative to openconnect starting. The PAN VPN box is the only middlebox, and I suspect it a lot, but I haven't heard of anyone here who are using Global Protect having this issue.
I'm using openconnect with GlobalProtect, which has a 12 hour time out.
Other than your ssh sessions getting disconnected after 6/9 hours,
does the VPN connection continue working normally after that? That is,
can you continue opening *new* TCP connections over it?
Yes, starting new connections works fine after the 6 hour disconnection. It seems like there might be a minute or two while UDP connections to the DNSs don't work, at the 6 and 9 hour marks.
Here's my command:

     openconnect --csd-wrapper openconnect/trojans/hipreport.sh --protocol=gp --script=/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script --dump-http-traffic --timestamp -vvv --user=larryp --syslog --passwd-on-stdin https://<ELIDED>.com < <ELIDED> > outfile 2> errfile & echo $! > pidfiled
Does it connect over TLS, or over ESP? Are there any messages about a
requirement to periodically resubmit the HIP report?

I assume TLS, but then I see this line in stderr

   [2024-02-21 12:24:57] No MTU received. Calculated 1326 for ESP tunnel

I don't see any messages about HIP reports other than the ones in stdout at startup of openconnect, but I may have to check again after 18:24 today. I do vaguely recall something about HIP reports - I think that's why I added --csd-wrapper.

Thanks again!
