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.

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..
