I understand what you mean if the same IP is given to another client the dashboard can conflate the two, but you would have thought a forget would clear that permanently. It also does it with the same still live host showing as connected when in the details it's not connected. I think I might just have to live with it - it's not a huge problem, just a bit annoying. Thanks for trying to help.

Yes, it shows the username they authenticate as (and it's not just old accounts that show as online when they also show as disconnected when you click on the individual connection). I probably added the user column in the past at some point. We use Cisco Duo for MFA. I already tried a forget in the past and it does seem to make them disappear for a while, and then they come back again later - we are talking 10-20 mins later. It's all very odd...

When I look at client connections on an MX250, and filter by "online" and "client-vpn" to see who is connected by VPN using the Cisco Secure Client, I see entries that are not connected. For example there are at least two entries showing as connected for people who have left the company who's accounts have been disabled\deleted. If I select the entry for one of them it actually says the user disconnected in June! It also does it for people still working here. So I just wondered if anyone has seen this behaviour? It has happened for a long time. Not sure if the info is cached somewhere and not updating for some reason?
