  • Updated

The Atlas VPN application for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS has the Auto-Connect feature. With the feature enabled, VPN is automatically connected after the app is launched. Let's look over the Auto-Connect settings on different operating systems:

  1. Click the Settings button on the left side of the app. Then navigate to the Connectivity tab.
     

     
  2. To enable the Auto-Connect feature, toggle the switch on the right. Then, pick the location you would like to set the Auto-Connect to.
     


  

And that is it! The next time the app is launched, it will connect to the preferred location automatically.
