Opens the VPN each time the session is launched. |
Manual |
The VPN is configured, but it must be opened manually from the session context menu or the dashboard. |
Connect if unable to ping |
The application will try to ping the host or a configured address. If unable to do so, the VPN will open before launching the session. |
There are many supported VPN connection types, and many of them are available as a session type add-on. These include:
| • | Cisco VPN |
| • | Microsoft VPN |
| • | SonicWall VPN |
You can also configure and link to another VPN session. Simply select the value Existing Session in the VPN type combo box and choose an existing session. The benefit of dong this is that you can share your VPN settings with multiple sessions, and manage them in one place.
The VPN's closing mode can also be configured:

The application will try asking for a confirmation before closing the VPN when it detects that the current session is terminated. |
Each VPN type has its own set of properties to configure, and you must know them in order to properly configure them.
