Control connection behavior
For each profile you import, you can control the action the Mobile VPN client software takes when the VPN
tunnel goes down for any reason. To set the behavior of the Mobile VPN client when the VPN tunnel
goes down:
1. From the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Connection Monitor, select Configuration > Profile Settings.
2. Select the name of the profile and click Configure.
3. From the left pane, select Line Management.
4. Use the Connection Mode drop-down list to set a connection behavior for this profile.
o Manual - When you select manual connection mode, the client does not try to restart the VPN
tunnel automatically if the VPN tunnel goes down. To restart the VPN tunnel, you must click the
Connect button in Connection Monitor or right-click the Mobile VPN icon on your Windows
desktop toolbar and click Connect.
o Automatic - When you select automatic connection mode, the client tries to start the
connection when your computer sends traffic to a destination that you can reach through the
VPN. The client also tries to restart the VPN tunnel automatically if the VPN tunnel goes down.
o Variable - When you select variable connection mode, the client tries to restart the VPN tunnel
automatically until you click Disconnect. The client does not try to restart the VPN tunnel again
until after the next time you click Connect.
5. Click OK.
