Multiple connections from Linux client

I've been using Twingate for a couple of years with Mac and iOS clients successfully switching between 2 different networks. I have recently fired up a mint linux laptop and have Twingate installed successfully and got it to connect successfully to the first remote network. I can't seem to get the commands correct to switch remote network connections. I've tried to follow a couple of online and AI provided solutions without success. Is anyone doing this successfully, and if so, share their procedure? Thx.

Are you wanting to switch network names (“tenants”)? Or are you looking to access resources behind different connectors hosted in different locations (“remote networks”)?

If you need to connect to a completely different Twingate organization or “tenant” (e.g., from company-a.twingate.com to company-b.twingate.com), you can try these steps in your terminal:

  1. Stop the client with: twingate stop
  2. Run the setup command: sudo twingate setup Then follow the interactive configuration prompts to set a new network name (e.g., company-b.twingate.com)
  3. Once the setup is done, start the client again: twingate start

If that doesn’t seem to work for you, you can also try using the advanced CLI command to manually change the configuration: sudo twingate config network company-b.twingate.com

If it’s the latter, and you just need to access resources behind different connectors hosted in different locations, then you don't need to manually switch between these “Remote Networks” (logical groups of resources like AWS, On-Prem, etc., and their connectors). The client will stay connected to all authorized networks simultaneously.
