Eddie - android - auto connect imported profile?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have Eddie automatically connect on android.  I can "quick connect" and I can connect using a profile I created with the config generator. But it would be great to have it automatically connect.  Is this possible with the current version of Eddie on android?

If not, is it possible with the openvpn client for android?

Cheers,
Jules

AFAIR, with Eddie, no, because you must enter your Master Password first. It's quite an old thing.
Should be possible with Schwabe's client, though. Settings > set Default VPN, then enable Connect on startup below that option.

Hello!

Only with profiles because of the Master Password, and only at bootstrap. Open "Settings" view, expand "System" menu, enable "Restore last imported OpenVPN profile at boot". From that moment on, each time you shut down the device while Eddie is connected through a profile, Edie will restart and connect at the next boot. This will not work in Android 10 and 11 due to a change of permission registration and methods to auto-start apps at the bootstrap. Eddie will run just fine when launched manually, but will not be authorized to auto-start at boot by the system. If you run Android 10 or 11 you will need the new version 2.5 which is currently being developed, or you can try OpenVPN for Android.

Kind regards
