Hi pspecht, thank you for asking this question as I am also on the path of auto-launching/connect with BIGIP Edge Client.

 

Before you launch BIGIP edge client, can your users have Internet access?I was thinking on how to deny Internet access if user isn't connected through edge client.

 

I am thinking of using host-file to only allow traffic to F5 APM device and when user gets connected, client laptop should receive the necessary DNS server settings and also to set "Force Tunneling" option to force all traffic through VPN.
