Multiple connection profiles

Post by simo_zz » Thu May 13, 2021 9:38 am

Hello,

I am in a situation where I need to use two client connections profile on my workstation:

VPN client #1: authentication using certificates (already working).
VPN client #2: authentication using username, password, server IP and domain (pending setup).

Each client pertain to a different network.
As I understand (please correct me if I am wrong), I could use one configuration for both, but I cannot find any example about how to add setup the client #2.

Do you have any suggestion ?
Thanks.
s.

You cannot use one file to connect to two different servers.
