Retry connection after connectivity-check fails
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 2:12 am
I've just recently started using Viscosity (have been using the "plain" OpenVPN client for Windows for a long time before) and considered buying it once my trial version runs out, however there is one thing bugging me a bit:
Whilst I see the point in a connectivity check before even launching the openvpn-client, I kinda miss an optional "retry after X seconds" feature here. Since I've set up my computer to auto-launch Viscosity and enabled a VPN to be auto-connected at Viscosity-launch, I'd like to have the VPN connection being established once I log in to my computer. However, the connection fails sometimes (my internet is not always very stable) or the wifi-connection has not fully been established yet, leaving me with the "cannot reach" message. IIRC, Viscosity showed a message about not being able to connect, which allowed activating some "auto-reconnect once connectivity established" feature, however I haven't seen that do anything, even after sitting idle for a few minutes with a working internet-connection.
Is there any way of having Viscosity retry connecting (either immediatelly or after X seconds)? Or am I out of luck and have to click "Connect" manually every time (which is quite annoying).
Thanks!
