Yes I know. Its a left over from the original patch author (overlooked during review). We'll change it one day :-) FYI: > A) Tunnelblick is launched automatically after it is installed. > B) Tunnelblick launches on login if it was running when the user last > logged out. > C) Tunnelblick has a separate setting for each configuration to > "Connect when system starts", "Connect when Tunnelblick launches", or > "Connect manually". Nice! Makings the configs more intelligent is something we lack on windows.

"Windows startup" is misleading, though, and should be changed to "Log into Windows" or similar. "Windows startup" says that it is started when Windows starts and could be misinterpreted as also starting a VPN connection when Windows starts up, especially if (now or in the future), the GUI can connect to a VPN when launched. FYI: A) Tunnelblick is launched automatically after it is installed. B) Tunnelblick launches on login if it was running when the user last logged out. C) Tunnelblick has a separate setting for each configuration to "Connect when system starts", "Connect when Tunnelblick launches", or "Connect manually". -- ___ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users

I believe he was saying that it would never autoconnect, but only that the gui would launch. (as a side note, I will throw in my $.02 that I think this is definitely a good choice. I can't think of a situation in which I wouldn't want the gui to autostart, and I'm pretty sure that if there exists such a situation, the person in it would probably be able to figure out how to un-enable that autostart) -Joe On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 9:11 AM Bonno Bloksmawrote: > Hi, > > >> I think the silence translates to "nobody would mind".

I think 99% of those who start the GUI want to connect right after that. I assume this would only autoconnect if there was only 1 config to use, otherwise the software might launch the wrong VPN.
