Description arnuschky 2015-01-26 11:42:23 UTC 
Currently, NetworkManager does not allow me to connect to several VPNs at once. Would be a nice enhancement to be able to do so!

Might be connected to bug #649429 - if I understand correctly, one has to specify separate tunnel interfaces to get OpenVPN to connect to two VPN servers at the same time.


I am using NetworkManager for my OpenVPN connections on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.
Here are the versions that I use:

ii  network-manager                                       0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7     
                              amd64        network management framework (daemon
and userspace tools)
ii  network-manager-gnome                                 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.3   
                              amd64        network management framework (GNOME
frontend)
ii  network-manager-openvpn                               0.9.8.2-1ubuntu4     
                              amd64        network management framework
(OpenVPN plugin core)
ii  network-manager-openvpn-gnome                         0.9.8.2-1ubuntu4     
                              amd64        network management framework
(OpenVPN plugin GNOME GUI)
