Connect to multiple VPNs?

Good afternoon,



Personally, I would like to know if it is possible to connect to two simultaneous VPN (L2TP) connections. Connect in two different profiles.

I'm running iOS10.

I can only connect in one profile at a time. I ask, is there any way or program to help with this?

There is no other application (vpn client) in which I can connect in another profile by the application, and at the same time connect in another vpn natively by iOS iphone.



You said that does not make much sense. I say that in some companies, for you to reach a sub network below a firewall, you need to connect to another VPN to reach this subnet. This is my scenario.

Then I would suggest that is a configuration your IT folks should set up.


As noted VPNs are all about controlling data paths. To allow a user to set up essentially 2 data paths defeats the purpose of a secure VPN.

I'm confused.


If the other resource you need to connect to requires a different VPN connection, then that's the connection you need to use.


You cannot piggyback VPNs. A VPN inside another VPN is not possible. if that is what you are getting at.


The secondary subnet you need to connect to would need to have its own VPN connection setup externally for you to connect to it.


So instead of using the VPN that provides access to subnet 1, you use the VPN that provides access to subnet 2 directly.



If you need access to that subnet, then your IT department needs to set up that connection to it.
