Using two VPNs simultaneously can sometimes cause conflicts because each VPN creates its own network tunnel, and there might be issues with routing or conflicting settings. However, there are a few potential solutions you could try:
1. **Virtual Machine or Container**: You could run one VPN within a virtual machine or container. This isolates the VPN connection from the host machine's VPN connection, potentially avoiding conflicts.
2. **Router-Level VPN**: Some routers support VPN connections. You could set up one VPN connection on the router level and use the other VPN on your device. This way, each device only has one VPN connection to manage.
3. **VPN chaining or cascading**: Some VPN services support chaining or cascading multiple VPN connections, where the traffic is routed through multiple VPN servers. However, this is typically more complex to set up and may require specific VPN providers that offer this feature.
4. **VPN Split Tunneling**: Some VPN clients or services support split tunneling, which allows you to specify which traffic goes through the VPN and which doesn't. You could configure one VPN to only route specific traffic through it while allowing other traffic to bypass the VPN.
5. **Proxy Server**: Instead of using a VPN for one of the connections, you could use a proxy server. Proxies work differently from VPNs and may not conflict in the same way.
As for VPN services that might work alongside Cisco AnyConnect, it largely depends on your specific requirements and what you're trying to achieve. However, some VPN services that are often used alongside others include:
- **ProtonVPN**
- **ExpressVPN**
- **Surfshark**
- **Private Internet Access (PIA)**
- **VyprVPN**
Keep in mind that the compatibility and effectiveness of using multiple VPNs simultaneously can vary based on the specific VPN services, software configurations, and network setups involved. It's essential to thoroughly test any setup to ensure it meets your security and privacy requirements without causing unexpected issues.
