VPN Bridge Setup

Post by xodc » Sun Nov 22, 2015 8:42 pm

Suppose I have 1 central server "1.1.1.1" and an edge server "2.2.2.2".

I have installed the VPN Server on the central server, and the VPN Bridge on the edge server. The Cascade Connection seems to be working.


Now, my question is:

for the other computers on the same LAN as the Edge Server, how do I actually connect to the VPN? I assume I dont directly connect to the VPN - otherwise, there'd be no point to this setup. I imagine all the LAN clients first connect to the Edge Server, and the Edge Server then makes a single connection the Central Server. Is this correct?

When the clients connect to the Edge Server, what connection should I use? (L2TP, PPTP, etc?)

Thanks for your help!

PCs on the LAN doesn't need install VPN client.
Please use localbridge.

I think I may have explained my problem poorly in this post. I created a new thread with diagrams here: http://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5312

I hope this better explains things. Is what I am hoping to do possible with SoftEther?
