Multiple OVPN Clients, what is the limitation?
-
I have read and experienced that multiple OVPN Client for a VPN service is likely to not work. I can confirm with at least Ivacy it doesn't work beyond one OVPN Client. If I subscribed to another VPN service could I use two OVPN Client connections or is this more of an OVPN networking issue internal to the firewall?

@scottlindner 3 work fine here:-
The only issue I have seen is that NordVPN hand out the same range of IP addresses, look at the US & Swiss IP , they are only 1 octet different.
-
I'll have to try Nord to see if it will work with them. When you mention the IP address issue, I don't fully understand what the issue is. Do you get some type of IP conflict?
-
@scottlindner I’ve seen the different OVPN far end hand out the same IP address to the client on pfSense.

Interesting. Is there a solution to that that can be automated? Like check for the conflict and restart the clients until they all are issued different IPs?
Seeing you got this working with Nord, the next time I need more than one VPN connection I'll sign up for Nord an give this a go. This discussion is exactly what I'm looking for. (well.. and another one that I already had). Thank you.

@scottlindner Mullvad seems to be very "compatible" with pfSense but they ain't cheap. With nord you can click reconnect until every ip (gateway) is different.

@scottlindner re "Is there a solution to that that can be automated?" not as far as I know.
I've set up a gateway group of all 3 and set the tier priorities:-
I also have a Nord LAN segment that I route all the traffic out to the gateway group:-
