How to create two VPNs to work at the same time on win10 computer?

Post by dominiknet » Tue Mar 22, 2022 11:37 am

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to create two VPN connections at the same time on Windows 10 pro computer.
I tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work. I created two TAP adapters and edit .ovpn files but I can not get it to work.
Link that help me create two TAP adapters:
https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/kbhome/openvpn-on-windows-common-issues-no-tap-adapter-available-error/

When I started my second vpn it gives me this error:
read UDP: Unknown error (code=10054)

Can someone help me with step by step tutorial or help me go in the right direction. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Dominik

Hi Dom,

It would depend somewhat on what you are trying to accomplish with these two VPNs. If you are trying to use --redirect-gateway through both it gets messy indeed.

That said though, your error message suggests that the sending of the initial UDP packet encountered an ICMP (or ICMPv6) error. I think it's a "connection reset", which of course is not a valid ICMP reply to UDP packets. That's probably why it is an "Unknown error".

Your fix most likely is to correct or disable one of your firewalls. Also note that there are 188 forum post matches of the string "code=10054". (It will be 189 when I post this.) So you're not the first to have this issue.
