User with dual VPN connections
-
I have a user that connects to my pfSense OpenVPN service and also connects to another VPN service for his job. Unfortunately, if he connects to one VPN, he's unable to connect to the other VPN (this happens both ways). This used to work with an older pfSense box I had but when I moved to a new pfSense box the dual VPN connections stopped working and I haven't been able to find an obvious setting problem on my end. Since it used to work, the problem shouldn't be with the other VPN server.
Any thoughts from anyone on what could/might be causing this and how to resolve it?
Respectfully,

I can't believe that.
Maybe on your VPN server you have enabled "Push redirect gateway", so that the user tries to connect to the other going across your server, but if the other server pushes "redirect gateway" cannot be affected from your server at all.

@viragomann The redirect gateway setting is disabled for both IPv4 and IPv6 (though I only use IPv4 right now). I tried changing this setting to see if it made a difference but the behavior is the same either way this setting is configured.
Thanks.

So to investigate, check the routing table on the client, when either connection is up. -

The routing table showed the problem. The VPN site I don't control started using the same IP subnet that I'm using which is causing conflicting routes. Thanks for the idea.
