Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes I get an XAuth timeout when connecting. When I try again, VPN Tracker asks me for my password. How can I turn this off?
Disabling this behavior entirely is not possible. VPN Tracker waits a certain amount of time for a response from the authentication server. If there’s no response, the app cannot know whether the password was incorrect or if the server is simply slow to respond—so it asks for the password again, just in case.
Possible alleviation of the problem:
Increase the timeout value to give VPN Tracker more time to wait for a server response. You can adjust this under:
“Credential Prompt Timeout” (German: Anzeigedauer für Authentifizierungsdialoge).
This helps reduce unnecessary password prompts when connecting to slow or overloaded servers.
