Reminder that OpenVPN is being removed | Mullvad VPN
mullvad.netThis is a reminder that we are fully removing support for OpenVPN on January 15th 2026, in six months time.
Not particularly pleased about the decision when OpenVPN is the most supported protocol.
Meanwhile their competitor IVPN even does IPsec.

Can you run multiple wire guard connections simultaneously? The reason I stick with OpenVPN is because my work uses wire guard and I can run two connections at the same time.
Yes.
It would depend on whatever the client-side software you use to manage it supports.
You could theoretically have an implementation that sends packets across 1 VPN connection, 5 connections, or 1,000,000, just like how you can make a program that just sends a ping request to one web server, or make one that sends ping requests to 1,000. But if the VPN software your work uses doesn’t support it, then you’d be out of luck.
It’s probably more likely that any legacy software would support multiple connections with OpenVPN, but not necessarily WireGuard, since OpenVPN’s just been around longer, but since WireGuard’s codebase is much simpler, it could be something they’ve put a little time into implementing.
Though since I have no clue what your work uses, there’s no way for me to know if it’d support multiple or not without you testing it yourself.
My work uses tailscale to get to work things. and I just want a VPN to get into my network at home. Maybe every once in a while connect to something like Mulvad. All 3 distinct programs that have virtually no idea about each other.
With OpenVPN just add as many taps as you need. With wire guard it doesnt way to play nicely with any other Wireguard VPNs running.
