Issues when connecting to 2 OpenVPN Servers with ER605 V2 as client

Hi,
I have an ER605 connected to 2 different OpenVPN Servers (A and B, in 2 different countries). Each VPN connection is linked to a specific wireless network so that I can easily switch VPN server, just by choosing the corresponding wireless network.
If I enable only the VPN connection A and connect via the corresponding wireless network, everything works fine and I am indeed connected to the corresponding country. If I disallow OpenVPN connection A and enable OpenVPN connection B, and switch my device to the corresponding wireless network, I am also indeed connected to OpenVPN connection B country.
But for some reason, if I enable both OpenVPN connections A & B, only the first one I enabled is working. The second one is never working, although it will show as connected in "insights". If I connect to the corresponding wireless network I will just not have internet access. It is irrespective of which connection (A or B) is enabled first. Only the first connected one will work.
What could be the issue? I see the ER605 V2 is able to handle up to 10 connections to 10 different OpenVPN servers.
Thanks and regards,
Max
Hi @Hank21
I use a single WAN as this is the only internet connection I have.
I do not use both OpenVPN connection at the same time on one PC. Some clients will use the OpenVPN connection A, and other clients will use OpenVPN connection B.
Both OpenVPN connections are linked to 2 different VLANs and wireless network, so depending on which wireless network you connect to, you will be behind either OpenVPN connection A, or OpenVPN connection B.
Here are a couple of screenshots of my settings.
Also, in the below screenshot you can see that both OpenVPN connections are showing as active. However, the second one (OpenVPN UK) shows very little data usage, and if you connect to the corresponding wireless network, you will not get any internet.
If I disconnect both OpenVPN connections, and reconnect them by starting with OpenVPN UK, then only OpenVPN UK will work. OpenVPN BOD will not work.
I hope this clarifies.
