AZTCOFW / TECHNICAL GUIDE
Edit the shortcut to connect directly
The shortcut to OpenVPN GUI can be edited to directly connect to a firewall instead of first starting OpenVPN and then starting the connection by right-clicking the shortcut and adding to the Target field:
–connect “Headquarters.ovpn”
. . . if Headquarters.ovpn is the name of the .ovpn file.
The user will still need to enter their password but it does save a step in the process.
