SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi,

I've been using Softether Server and Client v4.08-9449 on Windows 2008 R2 for a while now. The connection work great but it doesn't always reconnect when server loose connection. I always have to reconnect manually altough the "Infinite Reconnects" option is ticked like on the attachments.

Here's my client setting file:

# VPN Client VPN Connection Setting File

# The contents of this file can be edited using a text editor.
#
# When this file is imported to the Client Connection Manager

Can anybody help me?

Many thanks,
