<p dir="auto">While setting up 2 openVPN clients I saw following log statements for the first one becoming active :</p>
<p dir="auto">Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/ifconfig ovpnc2 10.10.3.50 10.10.3.50 mtu 1500 netmask 255.255.0.0 up<br />
Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/route add -net 10.10.0.0 10.10.3.50 255.255.0.0<br />
Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup ovpnc2 1500 1542 10.10.3.50 255.255.0.0 init<br />
Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/route add -net 216.168.3.150 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255<br />
Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 10.10.0.1 128.0.0.0<br />
Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/route add -net 128.0.0.0 10.10.0.1 128.0.0.0</p>
<p dir="auto">When the second vpn client starts it tries again to add a route like :</p>
<p dir="auto">Jul 31 00:17:52 openvpn[65454]: /sbin/route add -net 0.0.0.0 …......</p>
<p dir="auto">Which obviously fails since there is already one for 0.0.0.0....</p>
<p dir="auto">Does pfsense allows multiple active openVPN clients at the same time ?<br />
Why is the default/0.0.0.0 route being changed towards the openVPN device.</p>
<p dir="auto">I use policy based routing to select the outgoing openVPN gateway....</p>
<p dir="auto">When a disable the openVPN clients, the second one tries to remove the 0.0.0.0 route entry and fails, since the first disabled one already removed it.</p>
<p dir="auto">How can I setup 2 openVPNclients pointing to the same VPN provider/company but with each a different hostname entry point ? (each located in a different country)</p>
<p dir="auto">Many thanks.</p>
<p dir="auto">Regards, Bert.</p>

<p dir="auto">The OpenVPN server probably pushes out default routes to you. You should have a look here: https://forums.openvpn.net/topic10571.html<br />
Add "route-nopull" to the advanced config on both tunnels.</p>
<p dir="auto">If my memory serves me right, you can then use rules to select which VPN tunnel shall be used as the gateway for outgoing traffic, for specific hosts.</p>
