Connecting VPN when computer starts up

Hello all,

We are running into a problem where users who are not familiar with using much computer software, and haven't used a VPN before. We are using Sophos Connect for our VPN. I would love to be able to make the VPN configuration connect as soon as the user signs in. Is this possible? I know many apps have a feature where you can launch with arguments, whether it be in the executable or in a batch file. I'm wondering if this is possible here as well.

Thank you

Reference Screenshot below: Select to automatically turn on the connection when users sign in to their endpoint devices.

I appreciate the answer but we are using Sophos Connect, which doesn't really have any of those options for endpoint users. I was able to find what I needed here, with the sccli enable command. After adding sccli to the Path environmental variable, I put that command in a batch file in the shell: startup folder. That worked fine.

He was giving you the screenshot of the Sophos XG admin interface (not sure why) instead of what you needed.
