[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#744845: Allow simultanious VPN connections

[Martin Zobel-Helas]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.9.8.4-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

at work i sometimes need two simultanoius VPN connections to access all
the hosts i need to work with.

When i try to connect to a second OpenVPN connection via Network
Manager OpenVPN, i get disconnected from the first connection, that is
already active.

The VPNs run painless at the same time when started from command line.

Idea: Add a checkbox to the dialog "Allow simultanious VPN connections"
so i can at least choose when setting up the VPN connection to run more
than one VPN at the same time using network manager.

Best regards,
Martin
