Answer:

Yes, it is possible to connect simultaneously to multiple OpenVPN servers, but this capability varies depending on the client software and platform you are using:

1. Open-source clients on Windows, macOS, or Linux:

   • Multiple connection : You can connect to multiple OpenVPN servers simultaneously using open-source client software such as OpenVPN GUI for Windows, Tunnelblick for macOS, or native OpenVPN clients on Linux.

   • Configuration Knowledge Required: When connecting to multiple servers, it’s essential to manage potential routing conflicts and security implications carefully. Power users or system administrators typically handle these configurations to avoid unintended traffic paths or network issues.

2. mobile client on Android and ios :

3. OpenVPN Connect :

   • Designed for Single Connection: OpenVPN Connect, our official VPN client, is deliberately limited to support only one active VPN connection at a time. This limitation helps prevent routing conflicts and enhances security by simplifying the connection process.

   • Profile Management: While you can import and store multiple connection profiles in OpenVPN Connect, you can only activate one connection at a time.

Recommendation for multi-server connections:

• If you need to access multiple networks, consider using a central VPN solution like Access Server or CloudConnexa. These setups can facilitate site-to-site connections, allowing a single VPN connection to provide access to all necessary resources. This arrangement simplifies management and increases security by centralizing VPN access.
