Run as a service not working

Post by mrjohn » Mon May 13, 2019 10:26 am

Hi
I've setup a OpenVpn server with automatically start service on a Windows server 2012.Client connection works too, but If the main system is restarted(windows update,etc) and let it into user login window the client can't connect until a login is done on server.
how to fix that?
thanks

Solved creating a windows task for **openvpn-gui.exe** arguments: **--connect "config.ovpn"**
on task check 'user logged in or not' and trigger: at startup

The openvpn service works perfectly fine for me.
