+#Windows Python 3 Script to keep vpn up 
+
+#Please Note you MUST set the VPN environment Variables in windows global config
+#this script picks up on these to start rasdial service
+#
+#Also - Important
+#You need to create a vpn connection in administrator first
+#Configure it any way you need
+#This will create a phone book file that needs to be in the system area
+#
+#CrayFishUK, my experience for all Windows XP/Vista/7/2008/8/2012/10 This will connect VPN as a SYSTEM user when system starts.
+
+#You will need to create a VPN connection
+#Save or not save credential it is not important.
+#Find a rasphone.pbk in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk_hiddenPbk
+#More nice if you will copy it to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk or attach to exist rasphone.pbk (it is text files)
+#Now you need to create scheduler task...
+
+#Requires lib3.py
+
+#Scheduler task:
+#Setup as follows
+#Use the SYSTEM ACCOUNT
+#Make sure it restarts this scrip every 5 minutes and at startup
+
+#Start after boot
+#Program to start has credential to connect VPN
+
+#The idea is to have windows run this script in the background as a system user
+#this prevent the vpn from dropping everytime someone loggs in ?? (its a windows thing)
+
+#So do the setup under administrator and go from there.
+
+#any issue email paul@scom.ca and i will try to help!
