Issue on failed VPN Server
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 10:27 pm
On occasions my VPN provider has a server fail and random chance is such that I also happen to try and connect through that server (e.g. on resume from sleep).
When this happens, Viscosity pops up an "Authentication Failed" dialog (as is reasonable) and when you dismiss that to retries and then pops-up an "Authentication Failed" dialog, which you dismiss, etc. And this continues until you go into the connections menu (from the menubar icon) and "disconnect" the failing connection.
Except, the problem is that the time between "Authentication Failed" dialogs is short enough that it is really difficult to get into the menubar icon, to the connection and to select the connection (to "disconnect") before the next "Authentication Failed" dialog after which you have to start again.
Is there some way to globally configure an auto-disconnect after a number of failed connection attempts or some way to add a "Disconnect connection" button to the "Authentication Failed" dialog. Maybe I'm a bit slow but it can take me quite a few attempts to get to the disconnect even with an external mouse (easier) and with the built-in trackpad (slower) it's "a real challenge" (for me).
