Using the connect Command

The connect command is used to easily establish VPN connections. Connection information can be embedded in the URLs and they can be provided to users for easy setup and configuration. In addition, a callback URL can be provided that Mobile Connect opens after the connection attempt is completed, making it possible for other applications to initiate VPN connections in a seamless manner.
