When this is set to true, the service will persistently attempt to
reconnect at intervals whenever the port forwarding operation fails.
This is the recommended behavior for reliable operation. If one finds
oneself in an environment where this kind of behavior might draw the
suspicion of a network administrator, it might be a good idea to
set this option to false (or not use <literal>ssh-phone-home</literal>
at all).
