Automagic Forum

I've looked at a couple of threads dealing with OpenVPN, but neither suit my purpose (puzzingly, one of them uses 'Tasker').

I use OpenVPN to connect my router to a VPN server. My Android phone wirelessly connects to this VPN when I'm at home. When I'm away from the router, I want the 'OpenVPN Connect' app on my 'phone to automatically start and connect.

I've tried creating a Flow:

1) WiFi Disconnected MYSSID
2) Launch Shortcut 'vpn connect' (having created a OpenVPN Connect shortcut - 'vpn connect')

The log shows that it runs without errors, but OpenVPN doesn't start. (The 'vpn connect shortcut runs OK, if started 'manually')

I'd be grateful for any advice, please!

If the created shortcut runs properly, seems there is some extra value it is passing. Try to open the Launch shortcut action, tap home (leave the action open). Go to OpenVPN app and recreate the shortcut again. Back to automagic, the shortcut should be auto filled. Try it now.

That was it - it now works a treat! Thanks a lot for the help 'Desmanto'.
