    Run 2 VPN's at Same Time?


    Hello again, guys. I'm wondering if running 2 VPN apps at the same time is acceptable or beneficial. I'm using the Opera browser, which has its own built-in VPN, plus I also have Tunnel Bear VPN installed, but not running at same time with Opera. I reserve Tunnel Bear for other, non secured browsers. Is there any extra gain in security by running Tunnel Bear together with Opera, or is the Opera VPN sufficient by itself? Thanks for your insight....Ed

    :)

  2. Wanting to use both a VPN and Local Network at the same time

    Hi Guys,

    So I'm in a situation where I want to use Plex. Plex is installed on my home PC, and I have a NAS which holds my media connected to the network via a router.

    I also have my Home PC (which is the one running Plex) connected to a VPN. I realised yesterday that when i'm connected to the VPN, my plex media is routing through the VPN, so it's extremely slow and barely works. I need the VPN connected 90% of the time.

    So I tried setting up 2 user accounts. 1 account with the VPN only, and 1 account with no VPN, and Plex. When I switch users everything looks fine. VPN user is connected via Ethernet and VPN, Plex user only connected via Ethernet. However when I use the
    plex user it's still routing through the VPN (I can tell this due to speed and the automatic quality change). Is there a way to have 2 different network setups (VPN, and local), running at the same time. Be it though different users, and only other options.

    Basically I need to be able to run plex without routing through the VPN, when the VPN is still active for other applications.

    Thanks.

    If you want to run multiple ARK servers on 1 machine set up Virtual Machines via Hyper-V on your host PC.

    Run 2 VPN's at Same Time?

    Hi.
    I am not well-versed on VPNs (yet), as I'm just digging into them. I know Opera has an in-built VPN, but I have not tested it yet. I do know that Opera has been recently sold to a Chinese consortium, although they say it is still under the jurisdiction of Norway.

    FWIW Just doing a quick search on the sale, I see this:

    https://www.tenforums.com/attachmen...-image.png?s=c1e8b753a573dc6e5ffc1ac8c4009171

    You might do some testing, there are tests at the bottom of this page:
    How to perform a VPN leak test

    There's also a detailed VPN evaluation guide here:
    That One Privacy Site | Detailed VPN Comparison Chart

    I'm running WindScribe, so that's the only one I have tested. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    Thaks Simrick. I must admit, I do feel a little discomfort about a Chinese consortium involved in Opera. I've also tried Yandex browser, which I liked, but it also concerned me that it's of Russian origin. I now use Comodo Dragon browser quite a bit, since it appears to have good security measures. In addition, I've installed Tunnelbear VPN, and use that when engaged in financial transactions. I'm a bit paranoid about security since there's so much bad stuff that can happen on the Web.
