fogelfish I've read that “When started, the OpenVPN Service Wrapper will scan the C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config-auto folder for .ovpn configuration files, starting a separate OpenVPN process on each file.” I have created a config-auto folder; I have put in there an .ovpn file, .tls KEY file, and Personal Information file. But on restarting and logging into Windows a connection is not automatically started. My OpenVPN client GUI settings has the following three options checked: Launch on User Logon; Show script window; and Always use interactive service. The OpenVPNServiceInteractive service is set to Automatic. Can someone point me to what else I should do to make it unnecessary to manually connect? My OpenVPN server is a pfSense 2.5.2 plugin.
fogelfish I am new to this, so I wonder is there another free client that can auto-connect on Windows login?
BuckSn0rt What options are there then to have openVPN automatically connect to my VPN service provider?
TinCanTech The GUI does not use the configs in the config-auto folder. If you want to use the GUI then use the settings to start it automatically. https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenVPN-GUI-New#gui-set-general
