At my university, I have to connect to the local VPN in order to be able to connect to the Internet, at the same time, I want to connect to another VPN. What should I do?

How do you connect to a VPN if you don't have a connection already?– wlraider70Feb 2, 2015 at 13:36

At my university, we can just connect to local connection, but if we want to connect to the Internet, we should connect to the university's VPN at first.– Alireza GhaffariFeb 2, 2015 at 18:30

If you're a bit familiar with routing, default gateways and network cards, this is easy:
- If your machine has an Ethernet port, use that. If not, add an additional WiFi card to the machine.
- Connect to the Internal VPN using the first NIC.
- Note the IP address range of the VPN
- Connect the second NIC to the Internet VPN This should now become the default gateway. if it doesn't, remove the default from the first NIC.
- Add a route on the second NIC to the first NIC for the IP address range noted in #3
Done!
If the previous five steps don't make you go "Aha! Off course!" then:
- Don't do it! :P ;-)
- Don't ask if it's possible with 1 NIC >:)
