Client Feature Wish: Auto-Redial

Post by n8xja » Mon Nov 10, 2014 4:21 pm

Please correct me if it's already possible, but I'd like to see the client for PC and Mac to be configured to auto-dial/auto-connect to a given profile whenever internet connectivity comes up. I have a client that requires it and chose another VPN technology because they support the auto connect feature.

All my clients use "auto-connect" .. although there is no --auto-connect option --ping and --ping-restart provide this basic functionality.

Using the Windows service starts the Windows client at boot (or your preferred time) and the same can be done for Linux and Mac.

I guess you need to read the OpenVPN Documentation a little first.
