Hello all,

I have a question which I'm not sure if it is or is not and will not test it on my only OPNsense host, anyway, If I am connected to OPNsense trough SSH and  (hypothec) my shell breaks and I loose connection with it.
1. Nothing happens OPNsense is protected against this breakage.
2 Depending on where you were in the upgrade process you're screwed.

If it were 1, sorry for the noise.
If it were 2 however then I would like to request to make Tmux a standard package or plugin even if that would make sense.
The reason is Tmux can prevent damage being done from any kind of remote breakage like accidentally killing a shell and would be sane added safety, don't say it wont happen to you  :P

Now if you ask me I'm a true believer and have been saved by Tmux more than once and think it should be on every running host to hold the fortress and so I have it, but what do you think about it?  I mean we all want a safer securer but also more robust firewall :D

Thanks mark

edit: assume breakage happens when in the middle of an upgrade.;)
