OpenVPN Client - Multiple Server hosts or addresses

Hi,

Just trying to figure out if the below is possible.

I want to create an OpenVPN client connection. The VPN company I use has multiple locations around the world. With the windows client is a click to change to a different country.
Is there any way in PFSense that one can define multiple hosts/addresses and have them change via a predefined schedule?

For example the schedule will change the VPN server I connect to every 24 hours so on Mondays I connect to the US VPN server, Tuesday to Holland, etc you get the idea.

Hi MnM,

Should be possible if pfSense supports the OpenVPN configuration. You will use rules to decide which VPN tunnel that the traffic will be routed out (routing-based policy). And combined with schedules, you can create several rules, where one rule is active at a specified time and the others inactive. The caveat is that all the tunnels must have a different gateway address (which it probably has, since it's different parts of the world).
