Just slide a toggle.
It drops the connection when the iPhone is off, which is reasonable.
How about Mac OSX? I downloaded a "client.opvn" profile but it's not recognized.
I've been opening the OPVN icon at top of screen and entering the password by hand to make it connect.
Is there a way to save the profile for MacOS?
The recommended client by OpenVPN for Mac OSX is called
Tunnelblick and has the ability to save your connection info into the keychain. It's also much more updated than the default OpenVPN client distributed by our VPN server. They've got a basic intro
here under the Quick Start Guide.
Side note: On Windows, I prefer to use the
OpenVPN GUI rather than OpenVPN Connect which I find more reliable and also more up to date. It's also available on Linux, but one can just as easily install the "openvpn-client" package and run "sudo openvpn --config sonic.ovpn" to establish the connection which also attempts to reconnect if it drops.
