Start Before Logon feature #677
Comments
The feature is not really clear to me from that link. Could you please describe here what "start before logon" does? |
I will try to find proper document. In short, windows 8.1 and later allows to start VPN connection from logon window (before user logs in). It is nice for enterprises, so road warriors can log to active directory from home notebook. |
Windows 10 has always on VPN which does the same thing: |
api first appeared in windows 8.1 and yes, I mean that feature :) |
Please use the "Startup Connection" function which is already implemented on SoftEther VPN Client. This function realizes what you want to do. This function is expressly described in the 4.4.19 Startup Connection section on the manual:

Wow, I missed that |
Omg, I set that up on a network and I forgot about that. |
Maybe this issue could be closed? |
Can this be reopened? Existing feature (startup connection) works, but is not the same as connecting to VPN before logon.
Windows 10 built in VPN client allows this functionality (https://athelp.sfsu.edu/hc/article_attachments/360087483494/logon2.png), however it is a lot slower and less stable. |
I agree with this. It seems that almost all the pieces for this are already in place, there just needs to be some mechanism for Softether to detect when its on the corporate network vs not. Softether is way faster and much more stable than Windows AoVPN, so it would be nice to see s solution. |
I think user can connect to Wi-FI with checkbox "autoconnect to this network" and reboot laptop, so after reboot SoftEther VPN automatically connect to server by the Startup Connection option. |
for enterprise vpn there is very useful feature, description is here:
