I'm sure you have received plenty of emails like this, but I'm just adding to the choir:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Big thank you very much for the incredible effort you are putting on Dropbear! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We are a small start-up and we are using dropbear (I'm two version behind now, but that is very stable and working great for us) for maintaining a secure, persistent connection (with two tunnels) between our embedded devices and our data center (I think I found the problem related to the keep-alive and liveliness) I might consider migrating to the newest version in our next major version (our current version requires patching the source code).
