multiple VPN tunnels on the same Linux host

[dkhokhlov]

Is it possible to setup multiple VPN tunnels on the same Linux host?

Hi! Could you please elaborate on your use case?

In general, you could set up a lot (only bounded by things as port limits, memory, etc.) of tunnels on a same Linux host. What's related to NordVPN Linux application, we are only supporting a single VPN interface with connections to a single NordVPN server and multiple meshnet connections simultaneously.

Use case:

• multiple tun ifaces to nordvpn with different public IPs
  possible?

what is "multiple meshnet connections simultaneously"?

[Savolro]

Hi! Your use case is not supported by the app and currently we are not planning to support it.

Regarding multiple meshnet connections, there is a single tun interface called "nordlynx" but it has active WireGuard connections to multiple nodes at the same time. If the nodes allow exit node routing, you could use them as VPN servers but you'd need to set your routing up accordingly on your own as app only allows you to route through a single meshnet peer.

In case you'd wish to set up this on your own, you could try to combine multiple configurations of either OpenVPN (e. g. by https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Linux/1047409422/Connect-to-NordVPN-using-Linux-Terminal.htm) or NordLynx (e. g. by connecting to the VPN via app and using wireguard-tools) into a single one to match your use case.

how to get a list of these peers (nodes)?

If the nodes allow exit node routing, you could use them as VPN servers

how to known which peers from that list support the exit node routing?

I hope https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/getting-started/meshnet-explained answers both (and maybe more of) your questions

By " list of these peers (nodes)" I meant NordVPN nodes in context what you said:

NordVPN OpenVPN client has many servers to choose from, with different public IPs. It is not clear what NordVPN nodes will be available through WireGuard NordVPN tun iface, specifically their external IPs.
