• Automaticlly disconnect the VPN when the RDP connection is closed.
  • Before disconnecting the VPN, the script can check if there are others connected session in mRemoteNG still needing the VPN.

External Tool

The Userfield is used to pass parameters.
Two external tools are needed, one to connect and another to disconnect.
They must have the option 'Wait for exit' enabled :

Connection :

"path\to\file\RDPOpenVPN.ps1" -u %USERNAME% -p %PASSWORD% -config %USERFIELD%

Disconnection :

"path\to\file\RDPOpenVPN.ps1" -deco -config %USERFIELD%

Session Configuration

Userfield should contain the OpenVPN configuration name and -askdeco if needed.

Before external tool = Connection
After external tool = Disconnection

PS: OpenVPN folder should be added in PATH or the folder location must be added in the script. PPS: Enable silent connection in OpenVPN-gui.
