Windows 10: How to configure VPN connection to connect automatically

I have a VPN that I wish to connect to every time I start the system, instead of starting it manually.

How can I do that in Windows 10 (I'm fairly sure it could be done in Windows 7)?

Thanks

Windows 10 Mobile VPN app

I've just upgraded to Win 10 Mobile on a Lumia 830. My VPN settings have forgotten their sign in info, and I can't remove the VPN configuration that was migrated over from Win Phone 8.1 - the "remove" button is shaded out.

I've created a new template, which works and can remember the sign in info, but there no longer seems to be a method to automatically connect the VPN, if the phone tries to access certain sites/ip addresses.

How can I remove a pre-existing configuration when the "remove" button is shaded out?

How can I automatically connect to a VPN?

Also, the VPN app is very crashy, is this other people's experience?

 

Automatic VPN Windows Phone 8.1 (lumia 930)

Hi,

i am trying to configure automatic VPN on my Windows phone. I tried it with configuring Destination IP Adresses and DNS Suffix. But if i browse an internal Page in Internet Explorer it does not connect to the VPN and just states "Page cannot be displayed".

After manual connection it works fine. It is a Junos Pulse VPN with User/PW authentication.

Does automatic VPN work based on URLs in Internet Explorer? Or is it just a feature for internal Apps?

Thanks for a short answer to clarify this.

best regards

Philipp

 

Marking this thread with similar interest. *092

 

I found a method that uses the task scheduler which is described here:

https://superuser.com/questions/7377...vpn-at-startup

which seems to work OK, but I wonder if there's a "better way"?

 

The VPN has to know that it is set as a task to check for connection and start using the VPN.

Are you using the built in VPN that Microsoft uses? I have had no problems with OpenVPN with my SmartDNS proxy that I use for Kodi.

 

Yes, I'm using the L2TP builtin VPN client.

Has anybody tried it using the start task method ?

I have a StrongVPN setup. When I first tried it using their client software and PPTP, it would start automatically. But I had terrible latency issues with PPTP. I setup a SSTP connection. It works great (Fixed the latency issues), but even using their client software, it starts running at boot up, but does not connect. I have to do that manually. The other issue is what happens if the VPN connection goes down during a session ? I know with the client software, it detects when the connection gets dropped and re-connects automatically. I have an open ticket with StrongVPN on the connect issue, however no solution yet.
