Dear Madam, Sir

 
In our company we want to monitor multiple pc's/servers that are at
different physical locations. Normally we connect to them trough a
vpn-connection to get into the 

Local network. The problem is that when you open a vpn connection you
can't open a different one and so only monitor one network at a time. Is
there a way to let Hobbit monitor all the different networks on
different vpn's at the same time?

 
Yours sincerely,

That sounds to me like a network configuration issue not a hobbit problem per se. Get your VPN to stop doing default routes, and make sure that the static routes are unique for each connection

I still have two different configs like this. One I just point the
clients over the internet. The other I have onsite big brother servers
and they relay the information over the internet. My security is such
that any added risk from someone capturing packets on the internet is
not a big concern for us. No central configs for the clients this way
though. Most of mine are now simular to this but now go over the WAN.
The ability to monitor multiple networks like this was the deciding
factor for BB/Hobbit/XyMon
