Easy upgrades

[danieldaniel]

Hi everyone,

First of all, I'm new to SoftEther!

I have it running on a Raspberry PI and it seems to work fine. But I've been prompted of a newer version that I should upgrade to, but the release notes for the newer version don't contain (that I can see) any instructions on how to perform the upgrade.

Can anyone explain how to do it, without losing any of my settings?

Thanks

I assume it's a update notifier for the SEVPN_Client, isn't it?
No problem. Just run the update.
If you want to update the server, do the following:
- Stop the vpnserver service
- move the whole folder structure
- install the new version
- restore a copy of the config file in the new instance folder.
That's it.

So I did above. If you need support, feel free to ask.

Hi - this is a message that pops up when I open the VPNSMGR app and connect to my RPI running the VPN server. It is purely a notification and doesn't offer an "auto upgrade" option.

So I essentially re-run the full install and then copy over the config file afterwards? Do I need to use VPNSMGR to back up the file or is it a file I can copy via the cmd line? (if so, what's it called?)

Thanks

Both are OK.

vpn_server.config
