Edit the shortcut to connect directly

The shortcut to OpenVPN GUI can be edited to directly connect to a firewall instead of first starting OpenVPN and then starting the connection by right-clicking the shortcut and adding to the Target field:

–connect “Headquarters.ovpn”

. . . if Headquarters.ovpn is the name of the .ovpn file.

The user will still need to enter their password but it does save a step in the process.
