That's because I put a runas with the /savedcred argument which will ask only once for the password and then it will work automatically. The only "problem" is the route command needs to be launched with elevated privileges. I made a batch file using rasdial which works like a charm. so, sadly decided to look for an alternative. See this screenshot (sorry, the screenshot is in spanish):įinally I couldn't make it work. maybe everything is set up but something is blocking the trigger.

I noticed in event viewer that always, after a successful VPN connection (id 20225) there is always another event (id 900) which can be related. I got this working by using the 'classic' OpenVPN Windows app, choosing the option to install the Windows service during installation, putting my configuration and auth file in the 'auto-config' folder and going into services and disabling the 'interactive' service and enabling the standard service for automatic startup. I tried to change the trigger part to change "Basic" to "Custom" and I put a XPath filter in XML field trying to search for the event id: You can check for the VPN option availability by clicking on the network icon and locating the VPN. But the task scheduler is working fine, other tasks can be scheduled or executed manually and they are working. AutoVPN in Windows 11/10 Before getting started, there are certain conditions to be met.

Task Scheduler will attemt to reconnect to it". And if I try to launch it manually, it says "Task Scheduler service is not available. I did the task with elevated privileges with the same result, and marked the "Execute with elevated privileges" checkbox as well. Of course, before trying all of this stuff, I tried to creating the route "persistently" using -p parameter on route command but it doesn't work because the VPN interface doesn't exist when this route is added on every boot, so is not a valid option. why is not triggering the route command? I can see the 20225 events with RasClient as source in the application event viewer after connecting the VPN. Automating this task means you won't even have to think about connecting to a VPN when you use certain apps. I investigated and the Windows event 20225 is still the same on W10 (RAS Connection Establishement). With Windows 10's PowerShell cmdlet, you can easily add applications to automatically trigger a VPN connection when they launch.

Of course, my VPN connection doesn't use the remote gateway as a default gateway.

If I launch it manually after connecting the VPN everything works fine. It connects and disconnect anytime without problems. I tried it based on this short description here which is for W7 but seems so similar, but I can't make it work. This gives users feedback on when the tunnel is up and ready, before starting to try to open internal resources, and also indicates if theyre on a bad/slow connection.I'm trying on my W10 to perform an automatic "route" command after a successful VPN connection. I solved that one with a little tool in the tray area that pings an internal server - if it pings, icon is green, if not its red (also shows a little overlay above the tray area with ping latency). The only downside is that running OpenVPN as a service, provides no gui showing if the tunnel is connected or not (another simple, but annoying thing that is missing but could be really great to have. I had to make a few adjustments to the ovpn config file to make work whrn going back to internal network. It works fairly well and transparent for the user. Once the computer is connected on another network, the traffics is allowed and the tunnel is established. OpenVPN service will then fail to connect to our VPN server, and just keep trying in specified amount of time. In the end i solved it by making a windows firewall block rule for OpenVPN exe that blocks it, if source is one of our internal subnets. But i could never get it working properbly. I first tried to create a task schedule that stops OpenVPN service, when domain connection is detected on a network adapter. This works fine, except it also auto connects them when inside the local network - which is unwanted. I run OpenVPN as a service on technicians laptops to allways invisibly connect them to company network. Once the computer is connected on another network, the traffics is allowed and the tunnel is. I also looked everywhere for a solution to a rather simple problem. In the end i solved it by making a windows firewall block rule for OpenVPN exe that blocks it, if source is one of our internal subnets.

I had similar problem in a business environment.
