Launch at Login on Mac
Pekpik VPN then starts in the menu bar each time you log in. You can also check it in System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions.
- Open the Pekpik VPN window and go to Account.
- Under General, turn on Launch at Login (“Start Pekpik VPN when you log in”).
Launch at Login on Windows
It’s off by default. The background service that runs the VPN always starts with Windows; this setting only controls whether the app window and tray icon open too.
- Open Pekpik VPN and go to Account.
- Under General, turn on Launch at Login (“Start Pekpik VPN after Windows login”).
Android: start with your phone
Android doesn’t have a Launch at Login setting in the app. To have Pekpik VPN start after your phone restarts and stay on, turn on Always-on VPN for Pekpik VPN in Android’s VPN settings. See Always-on VPN and “Block connections without VPN”.
