Of course you can do that. There are different timeouts (MPTCP level, TCP (and SSH) keep alive, etc.) to prevent having dangling connections for a while, but they can be changed if…

Good point, the last version (v0.60) is using the upstream kernel by default. I just added it in the list: https://www.mptcp.dev/apps.html#misc
