openvpn-gui

openvpn-gui copied to clipboard

On the General Tab: Startup: [X] Launch at startup [Drop down box] Start this profile

This does not have to be a drop down box, it could be a manually filled in field which would allow multiple configs to be selected.

Essentially like so: openvpn-gui.exe --connect client-01.ovpn --connect client-02.ovpn ..

I don't understand your suggestion, afaik you cannot connect to multiple servers at once using openvpn-gui.

If you're suggesting for openvpn-gui to run on startup then automatically connect to a server, then you can accomplish this by creating a shortcut of "openvpn-gui.exe" and pasting it to the "Startup" folder and edit its properties.

• Win+R -> "shell:startup" (without quotes)
• paste shortcut file of "openvpn-gui.exe"
• modify its properties and add --connect "server.ovpn" to the end of target.

@Crypt-ix .. you can connect to multiple servers at the same time using the GUI.

While I understand how to do this with shortcut properties, my idea is for making that step even easier by building that functionality into the GUI itself.

Anyway, it is only a suggestion not a bug per se.

Just install the Windscribe client, it has custom config support and the feature you seek: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*HXJzS1RJmM3foewUpEx12Q.png

Please stop spamming OpenVPN issues with advertisement for Windscribe.

There's tons of nice solutions out there, some free and some commercial, but we do not need advertisement for any of them in an OpenVPN issue.

I've opted to implement this as discussed in #215 -- i.e., if a connection is active when the GUI is stopped or user logout, it will be auto-connected next time. Essentially something like "restore the previous session". See PR #565
