Hi Pall, Thanks for the advise but I'm unsure if this would be possible as this windows machine will be the main hub for connecting to all the VPN's and would not be able to utilize Linux as these are not VPN tunnels but need to utilize the VPN Windows Software. I would be using Linux but some of these VPN software are small companies and never created compatible Linux software and it is impossible to connect to these VPN without the required software. After hours and hours of trying to connect with open source alternative there was no way. Do you have any experience in proxing the commands through a windows platform?

I was possibly thinking of setting up a Proxy but it would be great to find out more on working solutions.
