Hi Benoit,

Thanks for replying

I'm a little confused by what you said though. If wifidog does not end
a session as long as there is network activity including DHCP
requests, I don't understand why the session is kept open even when
the user has left the area and is no longer connected to the network ?

Thanks

Chris
