Hi everyone,
It would be really great if you could take a look at my problem. It’s incredibly annoying every time I restart my Mac.
Thanks a lot, and Happy Easter!

In the meantime, I've found a solution that works smoothly. Since the Pangolin client doesn't have a built-in autostart feature, I manually added it to my Mac's login items. The problem with this is that Pangolin starts before the Wi-Fi connection is established and then can't find the organization.
I got around this with a small app I created in the Script Editor, which is now set as a login item instead of Pangolin. It first checks whether external HTTPS connections are possible and only then starts Pangolin. Pangolin then starts up without any problems and connects to the organization. @oschwartz10612 @miloschwartz : It would be great if you could eventually add an autostart option to the client; that would make things a lot easier to use.

Closing because I think this is fixed 0.12.0, but let me know if not!
