Hi,
Is it expected behavior for openvpn to not ask for credentials when I disconnect and reconnect wifi?
Thank you,
Jina

On Access Server, a session token is used to automatically re-establish an active session, even it gets disrupted for a short while. Why?

Thanks for the reply. A user noticed this and asked if it was a security concern. For how long does the session token remain valid? Is this configurable?
