OpenVPN Multiple client problem

I am running 384.7_2 on a RT-AC87U, using NordVPN to setup specific VPNs for particular devices (VPN1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.100, VPN2 to xxx.xxx.xxx.200). The VPNs are setup using Exclusive DNS and Strict Policy rules.

If I just connect one VPN everything is fine. If I connect the second then all traffic for all devices is routed through a VPN; the traffic for second VPN connection goes through the specified VPN, but all other traffic goes though the first VPN connection. It does not matter which order I start the VPNs. As soon as I disconnect one VPN (either) the situation returns to normal.

I have tried adding the WAN interface to the routing rules (both VPN) and connecting to the VPN provider using the same VPN server and different servers - this does not make any difference.

Has anyone else come across this or have any ideas what I can try next?
 
Configure one as UDP and the other as TCP. Then you don't have conflicts with local ip's given by nordvpn, and that's probably the issue.
 
Thank you - that worked perfectly. As long as I don't need a third VPN in the future I should be fine :)
