   As long as a software doesn't provide the task that you need, you'll have to   
   do it manually; and that assuming it's possible in the first place.

   If the software doesn't provide any automatable command to simply switch to   
   other VPN service, then you'd have to stop it, then start a different one.   
   Or ask the software developer to implement th needed command.

   That's what "switch" is meant to be. If you don't want to start another VPN   
   service, then you'd just have to start another. Again, assuming it's   
   possible in the first place. i.e. whether the VPN client software allow   
   multiple instances or not.
