I have got ubuntu 18 installed on a virtual machine. 2 virtual network adapters are connected to machine. 1 is for internet 1 is for share file with another virtual machine

when I connect ubuntu to a vpn server (special client of a private vpn, not open) over 1st network card, file share via samba on 2nd network card becomes unavailable. Each time when i want to share file, first i have to disconnect the vpn connection. So, without disconnection from vpn, would it be possible to share files over 2nd network card?

You are routing all your traffic via the 1st networkcard / vpn-server when you connect to your vpn.

You have at least two options now.

  1. Modify the vpn-server-config

    Chanage your server-config to not bypass your gateway anymore. In OpenVpn this option should be named

    push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
    

    Delete or comment that option

  2. Modify your routing table

    Don't change the vpn-server config but write a new routing rule. Lets say your samba network is running at 192.168.10.0/24 and your IP in that smb network is 192.168.10.2 you could write a rule like this

    sudo ip route add 192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.10.2
    

    and the problem should be fixed.
