Auto connect not working?

dekyte

I just installed Bitdefender VPN on a MAC (OS Ventura). I would like it to automatically start up when my computer comes on. I enabled the setting for auto-connect at device startup, but I still have to press the connect button after startup. Is there another setting somewhere?

Hello @dekyte,

The respective setting launches the VPN application when the device is turned on, but does not actually establish the connection. Basically, when you set the VPN to connect at startup, it is no longer necessary to double-click on the application icon to access it. Like the option says, Bitdefender VPN app will launch automatically on device startup, but it will not connect at the same time.

The logic behind this process is that the Internet traffic is not made immediately after starting the operating system, as such we assume that the VPN is actually connected when the Internet connection is being made.

Therefore this isn't an issue, the feature functions as designed.

Regards,

Alex
