Auto-Connect / Reconnect SSL or IPSEC VPN?

Good evening community! I am attempting to see if there is a SSL client or IPSEC client that will auto-connect and auto-login? Use case is this: We already have 2FA setup on each end user device. We need to be able to ensure the users VPN stays active and when it disconnects from a computer sleeping, etc... the computer will automatically connect back when it comes back online.

I have Tunnelblick on my laptop that does that, but it's not available for Windows machines.

(Note: I haven't tried Sophos IPSec VPN client, but we do use their SSL VPN tool.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, what do you mean when you say Google Site with that string? I searched and didn't find any answers. Sorry for my "new"ness to this forum board.

Basically, he said search google for that site and string, https://www.google.com.au/search?q=site:community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f+"auth-user-pass"

I can not really see a solution without using a 3rd party application to connect the VPN.

Ahh, I see. What third party solution would you recommend?

Well, TunnelBlick is just a GUI for OpenVPN, so maybe try the OpenVPN client? https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

I have also heard good things about the SoftEther Client. https://www.softether.org/5-download

I have used Softether before, but it works by a "VPN Server" within the network. I'll do some more research and to see if they have another solution or what, but I was hoping to get the SSL VPN to work like I needed it to.

The OpenVPN client wil do what you want, with the correct config files. But it might take a little more testing.
