Can't connect without SecureNat

Post by Malheiros » Sat Oct 08, 2016 10:46 am

Hello,

My problem is I cannot connect to my SoftEther vpn server, unless SecureNat is turned on, and you know it's slow and gets slower gradually.

There are two physical cards on my server. eth0 is connected to wan and eth1 is connected to the local network of the datacenter. I created a bridge with eth0 for my virtual hub and it is connected without errors. It seems like a dhcp problem, but I couldn't figure out how to solve it.

Thanks in advance.

So, I read some documentation and set "NoPromiscuousMode" to true, but it still no successful connection.

Error message is:
2016-10-10 12:35:57.442 L2TP PPP Session [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1701]: Acquiring the networking information from the DHCP server failed. To accept a PPP session, you need to have a DHCP server. Make sure that a DHCP server is working normally in the Ethernet segment which the Virtual Hub belongs to. If you do not have a DHCP server, you can use the Virtual DHCP function of the SecureNAT on the Virtual Hub instead.

No DHCP server... :/

Is there any DHCP server on localbridged network?
If there isn't or is only on the VPN server host, please try virtual DHCP function in SecureNAT.
Slow down may not occur without using virtual NAT function.
