NimbostratusAuto Connect/Always connect to VPN even if the category is Domain Network
Hello, I know if the device is connected to trusted network or Domain network, the VPN auto trigger and Always ON setting is not going to work.
Is there any "special" configuration which anyone can suggest so that irrespective of network connection the VPN should be ALWAYS connected? I know it's not great stuff to do but I have a requirement.
Powershell script is another option which I can try to connect the VPN ;) but it bit more over kill....

Yes, it's unusual to use VPN when already in the corporate network. Not sure I'd recommend it, but the VPN uses network location awareness to do this.

In step 6 where you were meant to enter the DNS suffix of your corporate network, you can choose not to, so that it will attempt to connect anyways.

And you might want to use this in combination with the Enable Always Connected mode described here
