Hello,
Can you please post an example of maker.txt content ?

regards.

Agreed - thank you for the script. Can you please provide an example of vpnmakers.txt?

I think vpnmakers.txt might be something like this
serveraddress -u uername
just openconnect's arguments

Its a simple text file like this:

yes
VPN_USERNAME
VPN_PASSWORD

Use yes if your VPN server is insecure and openconnect wants an agreement from you.

yes
VPN_USERNAME
VPN_PASSWORD

yeap. That's the right text file. 👍

Thank you for providing this.

Thank you for providing this.

Thank you for this. It works like a charm.

it's amazing,
thanks alireza jan :boos:

Thank you, you helped me realize that I was using the default kill signal which is TERM which...according to openconnect manual, makes openconnect exit immediately without logging off or running vpnc-script and vpnc-script is responsible for restoring your route and dns which was not happening in my case making my internet connection run like in 90's on a telephone modem.

Thanks for the contribution, but when connecting it disables the internet connection.

Thank you for providing this.
