Hi!
I have set up forward proxy for SSH connection to my box. For a long
time I was troubleshooting timeout issue which caused the session to
timeout after 30 seconds. Finally I was able to trace down the issue to
mod_reqtimeout module. To keep the session alive I need to add the
following to my virtualhosts conf (and yes, I'm just started to fine
tune the params):
RequestReadTimeout header=60-3600,MinRate=10
I need to run proxy service either on port 80 or 443 as these are the
only open ports. These are of course used to serve other content as well.
However the thing I'm now concerned is that what kind of impact this
RequestReadTimeout setting has to overall security of the server? Is it
making it more vulnerable to attacks and can something be done to make
it more secure if needed? And of course, please point if there's a more
clever solution to keep the sessions alive :-)
Thanks,
Jani
