Need help with multiple TAP adapters

Post by Morvet » Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:59 am

Hye everybody,

I am totally new to OpenVPN and having for days an unsolved problem.

My company uses OVPN to connect from outside. So a TAP adapter is already installed on my system. I am also using a private VPN.

So I installed a second TAP adapter. My goal is, that my private VPN uses TAP 2 and my company VPN uses TAP 1. So I created a Config folder in the OVPN folder of my private VPN. I created a config file. Then I wrote in the first line "dev tap" and in the second line "dev-node "TAP2"".

I used this sites for support https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... TAPDrivers and http://michlstechblog.info/blog/openvpn ... n-windows/.

It is not working. No matter what I do. Both VPNs use TAP 1.

I am using Windows 10 x64.

Can someone help me out, please? I'd much appreciate it.

Thank you.

See --dev-node in The Manual v24x

Dear TinCanTech,

thx for your reply, but to be honest I am not sure what you mean.

My config file looks like this. Those are the only entries.

--dev tap
--dev-node "Name of the TAP Adapter"

What am I missing here?

There is obviously more than just that ..

Try this:
  • Remove --dev tap from both configs.
    client-1
    dev-type tap
    dev-node tap1
    and
    client-2
    dev-type tap
    dev-node tap2
    You can rename TAP Adapters in Network connections.
