@bvanskiver is there any way to auto close the command prompt? I tried EXIT but that didn't work.

@jkyadav, when you leave the ikec/ipsecc command open, you can press (I think) x q (I am not sure if it is x or q, I always forget it. I have cheched upon it.)

Hi, I'm not a tech genius is there a way I could set such connection and say it will connect @06:00 daily for 1 hour?
Would also need guidance, are the scripts above to run in a bat file or an other?
Thanks in advance

Windows scheduler should help you with this.
