asus merlin - vpn - only first client instance works

[neu]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and love it so far.

However, i do have an issue regarding setting up different vpn client instances. Accordingly to my extensive tests only the first instance works for me.

Test case
------------
1. copied the first working instance to client instances 2-5
2. set service state = off for instance 1
3. set service state = on for instance 2
4. checked service state was connected for instance 2
5. opened webbrowser and search for myip
6. after a while webbrowser retrned "no server found"

Continued like that for client instance 3-5 with same result as instance 2.

My router config
--------------------
asus rt ac86u
asuswrt-merlin 384.7_2
vpn installed

So, what do you guys make of this?

Do you have VPN Client 1 "Block routed clients if tunnel goes down=YES" ?

If so, then this will always block VPN Clients 2-5 from working if VPN Client 1 is DOWN.

If you don't, then you will need to investigate the RPDB rules / DNS settings etc.

ip rule

ip route show table main | grep -E "^0\.|^128.|^default|tun1"

ip route show table 111
ip route show table 112
etc.

or try ChkVPNConfig.sh

Thank you!

That is exactly my setting.
I thought it only blocked client 1 if that tunnel stops working.

So, if i set ”block routed clients if tunnel goes down = no” means i can have all five vpn tunnels up and running at the same time and if any of them goes down traffic will be routed to another tunnel?

If not, how does these vpn clients work with the router and its kill-switch?

Since, i want all my traffic to be...
A) route to one of the working clients if the one it uses goes down
B) blocked totaly if non of my five vpn tunnel is up and running

I do not want any traffic to go outside my vpn, rather block it all than have leaking info.

Sry for all my questions but any help would be appreciated of how it works
