Two VPN Connections at Once | VPNify

okay so there are some very common

misconceptions when it comes to the

concept of what a VPN is some people

think that is just like a catch-all for

privacy but in reality there are two

types of VPNs that most people are gonna

want to use one is more of the

traditional Virtual Private Network

so let's say let's say you have a

computer at home in that computer at

home you want to run certain

applications almost like web apps

but they're not on the regular Internet

they're behind a firewall where it's

safe the benefit of this is you connect

to that network through the VPN your

virtual private network and then you

open the browser go to your URLs that

are only available on your local network

and then you can access them anywhere

this is very safe this is actually how

businesses traditionally have used VPNs

then there's the other side of the whole

VPN circle where a lot of people use

these services like PIAA there they're

purchased VPN connections you're not

connecting to your network you're simply

connecting to a network that is designed

to help anonymize your data so what

happens if you have one application that

you need to connect to a VPN for your

private network but you also want to do

some of this obscure stuff that p IA

would offer you well this is where VPN

fi comes in a very handy UNIX tool and

I'm gonna show you guys how to use right

now the idea behind this is sometimes

you are using different VPNs for

different reasons

sometimes you have a VPN that you need

to connect for some kind of internet

that you're running and then another one

you want to do for know protecting your

IP from the MPAA and using bit nor sites

and you can run multiple versions of

your VPN on one

interface easily now you could do this

if you know how to modify your own IP

tables or whatever but this really

simplifies and streamlines the process

so for example you set up you do your

VPN fi sudo Open VPN then whatever VPN

settings you have and then on another

terminal you just VPN fi the program so

to show off this I'm just gonna do a

real simple one here so first thing we

do them to go L Y and X dot o GG and

this is through my regular internet

connection I'm gonna go my IP there's my

IP address so we using VPN fi I do V P

and a fie sudo Open VPN let's do my West

now again this is 96 something something

something 14 now if we do home VPN 5ep

and hold on let's gasp for the password

again my IP now it's doing 1 3 7 2 2 4 3

6 6 7 which is the IP address of one of

the popular PIAA services that's with

VPI on and if I go out of this and just

do it without my IP it goes right back

to my real feet IP address so this is a

really awesome program you also have the

ability to run multiple ones you just

got a software link the binary and the

binary from where you can tell it's all

bash just kind of uses all the built-in

tools you already have I think as long

as you have Open VPN installed it should

work as expected

so with VPN Fi

you can take advantage of having

multiple types of VPN connection connect

easily connect quickly connect to your

work connect to your home server and of

course connect to your P ia or whatever

using so I hope this helps out let me

know if you use VPN services or you run

your own creepy and server from home

which is something I need to get into

because I haven't done that yet

hopefully in a future video alright guys

peace
