Hi Stephen,

AFAICT it's a limitation by Hamachi. If only Hamachi initiated another virtual interface (one per gateway network), it should be possible to be connected to more then one gateway network (it's a common case in normal VPN site-to-site situations).

My usability suggestion is just what it is... not a big deal, but only for easiness of operation. I don't know what effort it takes to implement, so... that's completely up to you. Translation into Dutch seems not to be the problem ;-)
I'm with you in your assumption there are not so many people using gateway mode.

Automatically going offline in the other network, without prompting is an option, but may not always be a good idea in the case there are running background-jobs (backups for instance). Manually disconnecting isn't such a big deal, but... when you try to connect to another gateway, Haguichi connects and disconnects, without error-message saying it's impossible to connect to multiple gateway networks with Hamachi VPN, as Hamachi CLI does (hamachi go-online ###-###-### gives: "Going online in ###-###-### .. failed, you are online in another gateway type network).

So, in short... maybe it takes less effort for you to "just" implement the error-message?
