Windows 10 VPN - Watchguard VPN install

Hi Experts,

Looking for a way to activate "Launch program before Windows login" for Watchguard 12.2 VPN client? Trying to have the VPN login show up before Windows login so once Internet is connected remote users can connect to the VPN and then AD for authentication. This has to be done during first boot so looking for silent switches which would enable install of VPN as well as enabling of the feature above. Have attached the silent install switches that I am aware of

With Windows 10, see if you can configure the VPN to work without the Watchguard client. If you can connect with the Windows Native VPN client, it will allow you to connect before login. https://www.kettlewell.it/windows-10-vpn-before-log-in-for-domain-users/ has some information on how

Thanks Adam, but we are not going the RRAS route. Would you have any experience with the Watchguard VPN client?

This is not possible with the Watchguard SSL VPN client.

You can configure the IKEv2 Mobile VPN in the Watchguard FIrebox and then use the native WIndows 10 VPN client to connect to that.
