schedule vpn to start & stop

[Donna Mak]

Hi,

I am currently using connection manager to connect my vpn to the remote vpn
server. I am hoping that I can backup some files from the remote server to
my computer during the night. Does anyone know how I can schedule this
connection manager to authomatically connect and disconnect?

You can use the RASAPI to dial up once you create a CM connectoid on your
machine.
The program can connect at the designated time.
Also you can use the command line too called "rasdial" to connect in a batch
file. For more info look into

Look into below for RASAPIs at
