Hi @PilarJimenez , there is no timeout option. The session will only terminate once the user clicks disconnect

If you deploy the client with PowerShell you can use the -IdleDisconnectSeconds parameter to set the idle timeout in the client connection settings. You can also set this in the VPN network adapter settings on the Options tab. Just set the timeout where it says "Idle time before hanging up.". This only works on a PC.
