I’ve had vaugue a problem for a while, only recently have I made sense of the symptoms enough to report it.

Facts:

- Locally installed instance of Discourse
  - Internet access of the instance happens via Cloudflare reverse proxy
  - Local access happens via a local reverse proxy within my UTM

- My user account is administrative
  - I am the only regular administrative user in the system, there are other administrative accounts, but they are rarely used

- Some users access discourse from the local network as well as the internet
  - I regularly access the discourse system locally and from the internet

- Some users only access discourse from the internet
- When I spend extended time away from the local network, and access discourse only via the internet, I will not experience this issue.

The issue:

- I will often have my sessions terminated after about a day, this will happen to all my devices which use the account, being my android mobile, desktop and laptop. This does not happen to other users.

I suspect that some of the discourse unknown login location security mechanisms are contributing towards this issue, but I don’t know how to hone my theory nor to resolve this issue, any suggestions?
