Mobile VPN with SSL on pc standby

asking_for_a_friend

Good morning,
is there any way to set the Mobile VPN with SSL client not to disconnect from the VPN if the PC goes on standby?

Hi @asking_for_a_friend

There isn't a way to do this. When a PC is on standby, none of the applications (including the SSLVPN) are able to send traffic to keep the tunnel alive.

If you aren't using MFA, you can enable the following options which should trigger the client to attempt to automatically reconnect:
-Auto reconnect after a connection is lost.
-Allow the Mobile VPN with SSL client to remember password

(note: If you're trying to use the client.wgssl file you mentioned in your other post, this likely will not work.)
