At Level 2, you can open 2 portals. At Level 3, you can open 3 portals.
Activating a Waygate is done by simply clicking the orb you will find at the location of the Waygate. You can travel through a portal from your Garrison to the Waygate and from the Waygate to your Garrison (in which case, you will teleport to your Town Hall, not your Mage Tower / Spirit Lodge).
Portals remain active until you decide to deactivate them, by traveling to the portal's location and spending 10x Ogre Waystones. If all your portals are active, then you need to first deactivate one before being able to open a portal to a new location.
