Bitdefender_1 and Bitdefender_2 VPN Adaptors Showing at Different Times when I connect to VPN

Bitdefender VPN Premium

Bitdefender VPN Version: 27.2.2.2(b)

1) I have noticed when I connect to my VPN, the VPN Adaptor will show the name of Bitdefender_1 or Bitdefender_2

2) They do not show at the same time its either one or the other when I connect to my VPN

3) Is there a reason why it will use Bitdefender_1 and then sometimes Bitdefender_2

4) Can I have only one Adaptor called Bitdefender_1 and remove or disable the Bitdefender_2

The VPN service works as normal and there is no issue regarding the connection and I am not receiving any error messages so all is good

Just weird I am seeing two different VPN adaptor names at different times when I enable the VPN.

      Answer: Depending on the protocol it connects to, the VPN might generated a second connection called Bitdefender_2
    2. 4) Can I have only one Adaptor called Bitdefender_1 and remove or disable the Bitdefender_2
      Answer: It is not possible to control which of the connections the VPN will go through
    • Is there a reason why it will use Bitdefender_1 and then sometimes Bitdefender_2

    Out of the 4 options within the settings of the VPN Application, which ones will create the second connection called Bitdefender_2 and can they create more than 2 and if so how many?

    Protocols Which are listed within the VPN Application

    • Automatic
    • Wireguard
    • OpenVPN
    • IKEv2

    I take it creating multiple connections is normal and there is no need to take any action..
