[Openvpn-users] Custom Tun Interface name while establishing client connection

[Lamsoge, Abhijit]

Hi All,

I want to create multiple VPN client connections from Host A to different VPN servers at the same time.

So for ex:

Local Machine -> VPN-Germany

Local Machine-> VPN-US

Local Machine-> VPN-Russia

and so on.


I am able to create these multiple connection at the same time.

With interfaces getting created like tun0, tun1, tun2 etc.


I wanted to know

1) If its possible to provide the name of TUN interface while creating such connections ? Like VPN to Germany may create "tunGermany" as interface name instead of "tun0" while establishing a connection ?


Note:- At this point I am not much worried about default gateway and packet routing.


Thanks.
