Bug Description

Criticity: wishlist

It will be nice in a future branch of NuFW to have connections re-authenticated on a regular basis (one packet every N packets, or every packet with a probability of 1/N, or one packet per connection every M seconds...).

This way, stealing an established connection from an authenticated user would be broken by the firewall.

This could be implemented by using periodically hello mode to confirm the connection. But, we need to ensure that this is enough.
