Connection dies after logging out from ssh

[shootie22]

Describe the bug Everything works as expected as long as I'm logged into the client machine through ssh. Once I log out, the connection dies.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a server
2. Create a client
3. Make sure the connection works
4. Log out of client ssh
5. Wait a few seconds (~10-20s)
6. Notice the connection died

Configuration I used the basic example. I also tried using the heartbeat and keepalive options, but to no avail.

Logs I cannot find logs, it would be nice if someone can point me into the right direction to find them.

Environment:

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

of course I realized what was wrong within minutes of creating the issue.

if you create your client as a non-root service, it will die when your session dies, a.k.a. when you log out.
I switched the service to be a system service instead of a user service and now it stays alive.
