I would like to be able to connect to multiple openvpn in the same time , instead connexion manager greys out the other vpn when one start.

I would also like to connect to multiple openvpn servers at the same time.
Its possible when using the .conf files but I havent found a way to do that over the network manager

Possible workaround is to use nmcli to connect to your vpn connections

$ sudo nmcli con up uuid THE-UUI-OF-VPN

Works on Ubuntu 16.04
