Yes, nothing to worry about if your internet connection is good and power is not off.

I have over 2 dozen running now for the last few months.

Enjoy the trip.

Peace

It would be helpful if you asked related questions in a single thread. That allows us an easy path to previous discussions that are directly related.

No client intervention is required with the default configuration settings. The client will upload results and download new WUs (and new cores, if necessary) without any intervention.

If you have a 24x7 internet connection just leave FAH running and it will take care of itself.

If you must manually establish the internet connection (e.g.- with a dialup modem) there may be settings in your OS which allow it to dial automatically when a connection is needed and drop the line automatically after it is idle for a specific period.

If you have configured auto-dial, and you do not want FAH to use it, you may enable "Ask before connecting"
