Networking VPN – Is It Possible to Run Two VPN Clients Simultaneously?

cisconetworkingvpn

I would like to run two VPN clients at the same time: one Cisco client and one VPNC client. For now I have my VPNC client configured to route only some known IPs to the VNC interface and would like to add the same thing for the Cisco client at the same time. Is it possible ?

Do I need a Cisco client to connect to a Cisco server or can I use an other client such as VPNc ? I installed the cisco one because it was the one suggested but I am wondering if this is mandatory ?

Of course you can run both at the same time. IIRC t is also possible to connect to a cisco concentrator using vpnc, as long as it has ipsec support. What will happen when you do both we can't tell. That depends on the VPN configurations, which may be pushed to your computer from the remote end.

To get what you want you probably have to manually configure your routing table to make sure only the correct traffic goes into the correct endpoint. There is no generic answer to this question though.
