# OpenVPN loses connection at launch

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that for OpenVPN to work properly, you will at least need version 11.15.0.0 of the OpenVPN GUI.
{% endhint %}

OpenVPN keeps losing the VPN connection when another VPN opens in Remote Desktop Manager.

### Solution

For this to work, the configuration file path must be the same in Remote Desktop Manager and OpenVPN GUI.

Also the ***Allow multiple connections*** option must be enabled in ***File – Settings – Types – VPN***.
