Ssh Read from remote host remote.com: Connection reset by peer

My hosting company firewall seems to drop idle connections. When I do a who on the server, there are many ssh sessions that are already dropped on the client side. I add the following to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config, then restarted the sshd. Connection reset does not happen anymore. Had to adjust ClientAliveInterval a few times to half of the firewall's timeout value.

TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 240

Also you can change this in the kernel:

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
7200
# echo 240 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time

And make changes to /etc/sysctl.conf permanently.

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 180
