Turn off auto-reconnect

Post by debsmith » Mon Jul 11, 2022 4:26 pm

I'm using OpenVPN Connect 3.3.6. I'd like to turn off the auto-reconnect feature when the VPN connection is unexpectedly dropped, but cannot find the setting for the .ovpn file.

Is there such a setting?

Hi Deb,

IIRC there is no such setting. You could, however, use the open source openvpn(8) client, which gives you more control and options.

Thank you, Rob0! I think I am moving away from OpenVPN Connect, as I believe you are right!

Hi Deb,

OpenVPN Connect is a good product, but it's specifically designed for users of our commercial software and SAAS. But any openvpn client software should be able to connect to any openvpn server or service. Offer void, of course, where taxed or prohibited, or when the server/service provider did something to require you to use their own software. :)
