   Theoretically you can.   
      
   Technicalities come into play.   
      
   Most VPNs add a default route to cause all traffic to run through the   
   VPN.  So when you start the second VPN it alters the default route to go   
   through it thus usurping the first VPN.  Humans can be smarter than this   
   and work around it.   
      
   The other common problem is related to NAT and the VPN protocol.  Some   
   NATing routers assume that all traffic for some VPN protocols goes   
   specific places (stateful table) and the second VPN breaks this assumption.   
      
   You probably can make multiple VPNs work.  It's going to be annoying at   
   best and difficult to impossible with wizards.
