MFA location disconnected after X-time
location, After enabling Multi-Factor Authentication for a location, the configuration of the gateway changes. Without MFA, peers (devices) are persistent (always in the Kernel memory) and gateway only changed the gateway configuration if a peer is added/removed/changed.
But when MFA is enabled, peers are only added to the gateway after successful MFA on the client (and pre-shared key exchange with client and gateway to establish a dedicated key for the session).
Also, there is a setting in the location named Peer Disconnect Threshold (seconds):

This setting specifies that if the peer is inactive for (defined seconds)_, the gateway should remove it from the configuration (as it should not be persistent since MFA is required).
So if you are disconnected from the location:
Check what is your setting for peer disconnect.
Make sure you are on the latest version of the client.
