Many VPN connections

Post by milktoast » Sat May 14, 2022 2:22 pm

I did a little search for this and didn't find an answer.

My VPN provider has up to 100 servers around the world. I can download all the OVPN config files and can add each on to my OpenWRT router that has OpenVPN within it.

So my question is, Will OpenVPN all me to add all the OVPN and have then all Enabled? If so, will it randomly select one to send internet traffic to? Or will it send to all of them?

Or can I only have ONE vpn Server the my router is the guest of?

I hope this question makes sence.

You can have only one VPN to a VPN Service provider running at a time.

OK.

When they are all "Enabled", will OpenVPN make a random choice and switch on its own?

Or should I only have "one" enabled and manually make the changes?

I don't use OpenWRT myself but I would expect all Enabled VPN profiles to be started ..

which will obviously crash and burn ..
