I have an OpenVPN setup on an Ubuntu 16 system. I have two VPN connections, one is through a VPN provider, so all traffic to the net has to go through that one. We'll call this VPN1.
The second one is a private OpenVPN server, so I can connect to my home server outside of the house through that VPN. We'll call this VPN2.
What I'm trying to do is allow all internet traffic through VPN1, at the same time connect to VPN2 but only route VPN2 traffic through it (IP range 10.8.0.0/24), effectively allowing me to connect to it outside of the house.
I've tried putting all config for both connections in the same .conf
file, no go, this try didn't even start it errored out. I've also tried running VPN2 as a process instead of service, while VPN1 was running, no go, this just didn't connect to VPN2 at all, 1 took precedence.
How would I go about connecting two VPN connections at once, started through service, and routing all internet traffic through the first connection?
EDIT
VPN1 Config:

remote us-east.vpndomain.com 1198
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key

VPN2 Config:
remote {privateVPN-IP}
comp-lzo
dev tun
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/ovpn.txt
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
client
route 0.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 64.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 128.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
route 192.0.0.0 192.0.0.0 net_gateway
This is done as a service
running openvpn from system start as daemon.
EDIT2
I've tested just now removing the bottom part of VPN2 config, the net_gateways
. Strangely it works if I start VPN2 first, then start VPN1. But if VPN1 gets started first then VPN2 won't work.
Also, after a few minutes of both being open VPN1 seems to strangely shutdown with an AUTH failure error.
Right before it disconnects from VPN1 I get this error:
ERROR: Linux route add command failed: external program exited with error status: 2
redirect-gateway def2
in the VPN2 config? This would override VPN1 completely! // After connecting to both networks manually (openvpn --config ...
) runip addr
andip route
and provide the output. // By service, do you mean the service that ships with the OpenVPN package in Ubuntu?systemd
services, starts at boot for VPN1redirect-gateway def2
is not in VPN2 Config,redirect-gateway def1
is in VPN1 config.
