2.5  Mode selection and persistent connection

Run Kerio VPN Client from the Start → Program → Kerio → VPN Client menu. Two modes of Kerio VPN Client are available:

Simple mode

This mode is recommended if Kerio VPN Client is used to connect only to one VPN server (i.e. if only one remote network requires access remotely) and if we are not interested in detailed information about the connection process.

Advanced mode

In advanced mode, login data for multiple servers can be stored and later used for their connection (Kerio VPN Client can be connected to multiple VPN servers at a moment). This mode is recommended if you intend to connect remotely to multiple private networks.

A detailed log of Kerio VPN Client activities is also available in this mode.

The simple mode is used by default after the first startup of Kerio VPN Client. Upon a startup, Kerio VPN Client is started in the mode used recently.
