SSH tunnel pause=0 no longer works for RDP, and TOTP field ignored in SSH tunnels
SSH tunnel pause=0 no longer works for RDP, and TOTP field ignored in SSH tunnels
I use multiple RDP connections over SSH tunnels with VPN default pauser time set to 0 seconds. This worked flawlessly up to 2025.2.12.6. Even if the SSH tunnel needed ~1 second to fully establish, RDP would automatically connect once ready. Since newer versions, RDP connections only succeed if I manually set at least 1 second pause, even for tunnels that establish instantly. With pause=0, the SSH tunnel connects, but RDP never starts.
Additionally, when using SSH tunnels with TOTP + private key only (without static password): if I enter the OTP in the One Time Password setting, it is ignored and I am still prompted for an OTP code. Authentication only succeeds if I enter the OTP into the password field. This issue does not occur when starting the SSH tunnel alone — in that case, the TOTP field works correctly and is automatically used.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out regarding this matter.
Could you please share screenshots of how you have the tunnel entry configured in both cases?
Kindly ensure that no sensitive information is included in the screenshots.
I look forward to your response.

Hello,
Sure, I'll attach my config.
In the new versions, only 1 property change is needed. You can see this in the first picture.

Hello,
Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the delay in my response.
I was able to partially reproduce the issue. Could you please confirm whether the wait feature behaves as expected when it is set to -1? It appears to behave as you described when the value is set to 0.
Regarding TOTP, I have not yet been able to investigate further, as I do not currently have an environment that requires entering a TOTP for an SSH tunnel. I will be coordinating with our investigation team to have this configured on their side for more in-depth testing, and I will keep you updated on their progress.
I look forward to your reply.
Best regards,

Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Regarding TOTP within the SSH tunnel configuration, could you please provide additional details about the issue you are experiencing?
If possible, a recording demonstrating the issue would be greatly appreciated, as it would assist our investigation team in reproducing and analyzing the behavior more effectively.
I will send you a private message with a link where you can securely share the recording.
I look forward to your response.
Best regards,

Dear Jacob,
Sure, I uploaded the requested test video
