Description

When exiting OpenVPN, if it's connected (which it usually is in my case), it prompts:

"There are still active connections that will be closed if you exit OpenVPN GUI.

Are you sure you want to exit?"

Yup. That's the one and only reason I exit. I'm sure. Every time. I'd love a way to disable this prompt.

Research direction

Start by locating the OpenVPN GUI exit path that displays the active-connections confirmation, then inspect how user preferences are stored. Done means users can choose to disable this prompt and exiting while connected no longer asks for confirmation when that option is enabled.
