My company uses NetMotion currently because of a few things. They can easily set static IPs for the connecting clients, and the client will continuously reconnect if the mobile laptop loses it's connection through cellular, or switches between towers, or get's a new public IP assigned as it moves around.
What I'm looking for is any open source or other client that can connect to Open VPN that offers the persistent connection / re-connection in this way. Currently what I find with many VPN clients is that if the network connection is lost, even momentarily, the VPN drops, and wno't try to reconnect.
Maybe I"m missing something.
I would appreciate any suggestions to look into.
Thanks so much,

I am. I've been testing some with the OpenVPN app for iOS and the .ovpn file I create, as well as the windows installer, and so far, just in my testing they seem to do what I need. I still need to do some more testing.
I've done my testing by connecting through my phone as a hotspot, then turning off the hotspot, and watching the device switch to wifi, and the VPN stays up. So very nice so far.
Now I just need to see if there's a time limit factor on that. For instance, I lose cellular connection while driving, then come back to a connection, will the VPN just keep trying indefinitely?
