I often use ssh to access other computers at school. However, I can't make

am coding something.
Is it possible to make ssh connections which do not freeze even if there is
no activity for a while?
That sounds like a security feature configured on the host side.
You could write a little bash script that pings a remote host every
few minutes. That would keep your link alive.
