Windows SSL VPN client remembers and tries to connect to the original 3 x IP addresses written in C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos SSL VPN Client\config\xxxx_ssl_vpn_config.ovpn, although I have already changed it to a global IP address of the router to connect to Internet.
How can I forget the Windows the old 3 x IP addresses to use the new IP address in xxxx_ssl_vpn_config.ovpn?
Or editing the file is incorrect in case of Windows? Anywhere else Windows VPN client refer?
My Android can access the devices in my LAN through SSL VPN by editing xxxx_ssl_vpn_config.ovpn, so I'm sure VPN configuration is fine.
<Original last 3 lines of xxxx_ssl_vpn_config.ovpn>
remote 192.168.0.7 8443
remote 192.168.1.1 8443
remote 10.255.0.1 8443
<I have edited as below>
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8443 *(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the global IP address of the router)
Of course, 8443 port forward to 192.168.0.7 is set on the router.

It continues and never connect.
-------------------
My Android VPN client log shows contacted and connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8443 without any issue.
Reboot Windows, uninstall & re-install VPN client didn't help to fix it.
I appreciate your experience!
