Username: The username you got from your provider.
Password and Password (confirmation): The password you got from your provider.

Idle (seconds): Enter the value for the idle time in this textfield. The value for the idle indicates that Gibraltar should keep the connection up for a certain time although no traffic is passing it.

The value for the holdoff indicates that Gibraltar should wait for a certain time after stopping a connection before starting the connection again.
