Hello,Is it possible to set public IP addresses from different
countries on one NIC?
This is a bit unclear. Generally, you assign multiple IP addresses to a
single NIC (physical), but it gets quickly very messy to route that
correctly. For virtual NICs (such as tun or dco interfaces), the remote
end of that IP address will need to assign multiple IP addresses;
OpenVPN does not support that. And it will be the remote end which
needs to know what to do with these IP addresses and route them
correctly on the server side.
TL;DR: For physical local NICs, it *might* be possible with lots of
extra work. For VPN services, multiple IP addresses on a single tun/dco
interface is generally not possible.
But you can run multiple VPN connections in parallel with separate
tun/dco interfaces and route traffic (per IP range) accordingly.
VPN provider companies provide VPN service with IP addresses of
different countries. Do they have a separate server in that country?
Yes.
Or have they just set IP addresses from different countries on the
same server?
No.
You can achieve such a per-country routing setup via the CloudConnexa
service provided by OpenVPN Inc. But you need to setup a (VM) host in
each country you want to send traffic via, and then configure them in
CloudConnexa as egress points for specific IP ranges or even domain
suffixes. When you connect your own client end to CloudConnexa, your
Internet traffic will be automatically routed via the egress points you
have defined in you CloudConnexa setup.
But I am not aware of any other VPN provider having this capability.
That said, I also don't have a too good overview of all of the VPN
providers in this market; it's quite a wild west market segment
(especially on the consumer VPN service side).
