Does anyone know if there is as way to make a VPN connect automatically connect(at a scheduled time). Using the run command it pops up, but cant make it "Connect". I've tried Task Scheduler but it didn't work.

If you are using VPN it can be setup like a DUN connection... if you create a shortcut to the VPN connection and in there check on auto connect as soon as that shortcut is clicked it will connect... if you open task scheduler you can run the shortcut when=ever you want or add it to the startup of the computer...

Wade, I've created a shortcut on my desktop, but I do not see "check on auto connect". When I select the shortcut I created in task scheduler it says "Vitural Private Connection.ink not found. I'm sure I'm pointed to the correct path.
