Hello, I am looking to connect to multiple VPN servers at the same time. I have very little knowledge when it comes to networking, so i'm having a very hard time following "related" topics as they do not seem exactly what i am wanting to do (or i simply just don't understand them). I have already tried a few things to do this, but without success. Here is what I did so far:
1- Add a VPN configuration for two VPN servers of vpnbook.com (since it's free and I don't want to pay for a VPN while I'm still testing things... but I would use NordVPN when I have everything sorted out, meaning that i become able to connect to multiple VPN's at the same time)
2- I have read that you should have a TUN/TAP adapter for every VPN you want to connect to, so I added one TUN adapter (though i couldn't tell you what command I ran)
3- Then I went to each VPN configuration and assigned a different TUN adapter for each one
4- When I try to connect to both VPN's, the first one connects no problem, but the second one lasts a minute then it stops working.
After reading a little, i think that i had a routing problem with ip tables or something like that.
One thing i should mention is I was using the OpenVPN version which can be configured via networkmanager (so i just installed with apt-get "openvpn" and "network-manager-openvpn"), on Ubuntu Desktop 16.04. I have never tried the console commands of OpenVPN.
Another thing to note is I want only ONE vpn to be the default route, thus not letting anything else go through the "not VPN" route, nor through the other VPN's unless I tell it to do so.
Sooooo... could someone explain me exactly what I need to do to setup 2+ simultaneous VPN connections which would be running at the same time? Or maybe you could link me a very good tutorial and I could post the problems I get following that guide?
