Hello

I am wondering if the pritunl client is meant to have notifications?

Our users are asking how to enable notifications when the VPN disconnects, I see the icon changes colour but I have personally sat for 1-2 mins wondering why I cant get onto a server not realising the vpn disconnected 😁

I am testing on Mac at the moment , most of my users are also on Mac.

Edit: extra info

We disable auto reconnect as we use radius with 2fa code added onto password so autoconnect would never work and just locks our accounts out

It is a planned feature for a future release but currently there are no notifications. If the Pritunl Authentication Cache option is enabled in the top right settings auto re-connection should work with all connection modes. This authentication token is stored only in the memory of the client background service, it won’t get stored on disk or remain after a restart. There shouldn’t be any security concerns with the authentication cache. If you still want multi-factor authentication for every connection **[device authentication](https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/device-authentication)** is a much better option.

If pritunl disconnects while I am working, its normally due to the User Session Timeout we have set for regulatory reasons.  
I don’t think the cache feature would pass our audits, every new “connection” needs to be authenticated by 2fa (someone steals your laptop, etc)

But thanks for advising it is a planned feature
