Killing "AirVPN Windows CLI" does not kills OpenVPN

[hugomueller 13]

I am running AirVPN hidden with the taskplaner. Sometimes I have to stop the connection. I have to kill AirVPN Windows CLI nad OpenVPN Daemon in my Task Manager. Would it be possible to add a feature which sends a kill signal to the openvpn daemon if I close the"AirVPN Windows CLI"?

If you have to kill it, it won't be directly possible. Killing a process is equal to an unexpected termination which won't throw exceptions.

I am not familiar with "killing" on windows but for unix systems killing allows the proccess to triger some other actions. Is the behaviour different from windows?

Hello!

 

We think (but we're not sure) that when Windows users use the term "kill" in this thread, they mean the equivalent of "kill -9" in Linux, *BSD etc. systems, i.e. a kill without grace. If this is confirmed, it is obviously correct that the client can't send a SIGTERM to OpenVPN management (or do anything else).

 

Kind regards
