I tried searching, but did not find an answer. I connect to a remote VPN server, and I get disconnected every once in a while with: [code][VPN] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting[/code] That's ok, it always reconnects. But sometimes the local IP changes during this and I would need to run a script when this happens. ***_up.bat nor ***_down.bat work in this situation. Is this possible?

Did you contact the [b]server[/b] admin to report the problem ?

Run script when IP changes

No, I have had this with multiple VPN providers, and I think it is because of my config. I use VPN only for specific apps.

I use:

route 0.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 64.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 128.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 192.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway

to bypass VPN with everything else. But the disconnections themselves are not a problem if I could run a script when the connection drops/reconnects. Is it doable?

Is there no way to get OpenVPN client to run a batch script when disconnecting/reconnecting?
