As long as the OBDPro is powered up you will not loose connection through a reboot etc.

There is however a case where you will have to reconnect, in case of the USB Scantool, if you power down the USB scantool by disconnecting from the DLC (but leave the PC hooked up) the next tine you power the OBDPro the software app running under windows will have to be restarted, this is due to the Virtual comm port software drivers on the PC. But again as long as you leave the OBDPro powered on you will not have an issue
