    Quick OpenVPN Question

    Hi,

    I have a very quick OpenVPN question.

    If I want to run multiple instances of OpenVPN from my Ubuntu Laptop, each connecting to a different VPN (home and work), can I just place both conf files in the /etc/openvpn directory and they will both start when OpenVPN starts, or is some more magic required?

    Thanks.

    To answer my own question, it appears that placing the two conf files into the /etc/openvpn directory DOES work, I have both running now.

    There is a slightly strange thing I have noticed however: ifconfig only shows 1 tun interface, which is the one created by the last conf file to be started. Anybody know why this is?
