Batch file help plz

[Bruinator]

Can someone help me with writing a batchfile using notepad to tell me to start a vpn plz? I would greatly appreciate any help

Err more info required... Are you using the built-in VPN client?

PowerShell > Batch.

Either way, the script will most likely use rasdial.

I Have a batch file that opens 2 websites dealing with money. I want to add to it with the first step to remind me to start a vpn extension that I use with chrome.  If  it is easier to use powershell that is fine too.  thx

 

Hope this is enough info.

Just use AI...chatgpt or Copilot will write code for you, then test that and tweak it if needed.

But you will need to detail what VPN it is - not just "I have a VPN" - help people help you!

It would make more sense to do that, but instead it looks like he wants the batch script to display a message telling him to manually enable the VPN rather than getting the batch script to connect it for him.

Read-Host “Press the any key to continue”

Save as “PornoMode.ps1”

How is it suppose to magically know what you want to use a VPN for?

Nick you are exactly right.

All set as AI did the trick

Bah, was going to type something out where IF a VPN connection was made, then do something.  But, realized this wasn't what the OP wanted.
