 connections can be opened at the same time each in its separate

+
+Systemd service
+---------------
+
+To create a new service which will start an OpenVPN connection in
+a new network namespace:
+
+    Choose a name for the netns (in this example: vpn0)
+    Create the corresponding folder in /etc/openvpn-netns/:
+
+    sudo mkdir -p /etc/openvpn-netns/vpn0
+
+    Put in that folder:
+
+    - a `params` file containing the params used by openvpn
+      echo "--auth-user-pass pass --dev tun0" > /etc/openvpn-netns/vpn0/params
+
+    - a `config.ovpn` OpenVPN configuration file
+
+    - a `pass` file containing the password
+
+Once the files are in place, you can start the service with:
+
+    sudo systemctl start openvpn-netns-client@vpn0.service
+
+You can check the logs with:
+
+    journalctl -u openvpn-netns-client@vpn0.service -f
+
+You can enable it at boot with:
+
+    sudo systemctl enable openvpn-netns-client@vpn0.service
+
+Systemd service with multiple failover backend vpn providers
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The systemd service can be configured to try multiple vpn providers,
+trying another one in the list if the current one fails.
+
+To do that, instead of providing the `config.ovpn` file and `params` file to the
+`/etc/openvpn-netns/vpn0` folder, you can put multiple folders in there, each containing
+the necessary files. The systemd service script will try each folder in succession.
