Connecting has failed (how to make GUI to connect automatically)

[wrath666]

Hi community,
I am using OpenVPN GUI V 2.6.1 on My Win 7 (64x).


The task is very simple - how can I make GUI to connect automatically to the necessary configuration and disconnect the initial ?

The detailed description of the issue is below:

1. I am connected to cfg successfully.





2. I want to switch to another cfg and click "connect":





3. I get the following error afterward (see the screenshot):
"connecting to configuration has failed"


Why should I first disconnect the initial connection and only after that connect to another? It is not convenient at all.




I tried OpenVPN connect, and it works perfectly, but for some reason I need to use OpenVPN GUI.


P.S: Just added the new TAP-Windows adapter V9 #2 - GUI shows that I have connected to both configurations, which is not a solution.





I just want to connect to the desired configuration in just one click and disconnect automatically the 1st one, not working simultaneously - that's all (like realized in another vpn services :NopvVPN,mullvad, Windscribe etc).

Any ideas on how to fix it?


Thank you in advance.

Hey man, you have the option to create a script(ex. batch file), for example currently you are connected to your profile1.ovpn then you should execute the below script to connect to profile2.ovpn

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command disconnect profile1.ovpn
timeout 5 > NUL
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command connect profile2.ovpn

And vice-versa when you would like to connect to profile2.ovpn with auto-disconnecting the profile1.ovpn, then run the script below.

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command disconnect profile2.ovpn
timeout 5 > NUL
"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" --command connect profile1.ovpn
