Hello all,

I recently set up a VPN connection that I use for work (connecting over my home wi-fi). When I am not using the connection for explicit work-related tasks, I disconnect and use my regular home connection.

However, BOINC seems to only want to connect when I have my work connection open and never when I am on my regular connection, which is the exact opposite of what I want.

I'm running Win-7 with BOINC 6.10.5. The work connection is the only option listed under the Connections tab of the Options window, and I have no default connection set.

BOINC 6.10.5.

Hope you meant 6.10.58? Else, please update.

According to the developers, this should be easily fixed by exiting & restarting BOINC. If not, please tell.
