Having trouble keeping connections alive on macos sequoia but monterey works fine.
I am using tailscale vpn 100 ip's to connect to my Macbook pro's one is M1 the other is an Intel version.

I can connect to the M1 via tailscale but the connections drops after a short time even if I
run htop on the remote login. firewall is turned off. Is there any fix for this problem.
I am just using ssh on my local home network but it work even if on not on my home network.

It seems like it might some sort of security issues with sequoia ?!

Note: sshd_config's on both machines look the same.
 
Have you tried increasing the timeouts in the SSH configs? And what error does SSH give you, if any? You can run ssh with "-v" to get more information, it might give you something more useful.
 
should I set time outs on sshd_config on the M1 not on client side? Everything works fine on my Linux machines and the old 2015 macbook pro with Monterey. What is so different about Sequoia that giving me these connections dropping out? I have tried ssh with -v -v -v but no results worth mentioning. so when the connection drop if I wait awhile I try connecting again it works then drops the connection. Is it some sort of security issue using tailscale 100 ip's on Sequoia ? running the newest version of Sequoia the one release before the newest had the same problem.
