### Default instance (auto-connect on startup)

The client can be configured to automatically connect to an instance when it launches. Open **Settings** and scroll to the **Default instance** section, then select the instance you want from the dropdown. The default value is **None**, which means no automatic connection takes place on startup.

{% hint style="info" %}
The dropdown only lists instances that have already been added to the client.
{% endhint %}

#### Connect MFA locations on startup

When a default instance is set, locations that require Multi-Factor Authentication are skipped during auto-connect by default. Enable **Connect MFA locations on startup** to include them — the MFA prompt will appear automatically after the client launches.

{% hint style="warning" %}
For locations using an external SSO provider (e.g. Google, Entra ID, Okta) this will open a browser window automatically on startup to complete authentication.
{% endhint %}
