SoftEther VPN User Forum

I installed SoftEther server on a android phone running CentOS 7 on Linux Deploy and Busy Box. I'm connecting to the cellular ip through the vpn tunnel to use the cellular public ip.

Android 4.4.2
Architecture: armv71
Kernel: 3.4.0+
Memory: 70/415 MB
Swap: 52/110 MB
SELinux: yes
Loop Device: yes
Support binfmt_misc: no
Supported FS: ext2 ext3 extd fuseblk vfat
Installed System: CentOS 7

I used the start up script example:

#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 2345 99 01
# description: SoftEther VPN Server
DAEMON=/usr/local/vpnserver/vpnserver
LOCK=/var/lock/subsys/vpnserver
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
$DAEMON start
touch $LOCK
;;
stop)
$DAEMON stop
rm $LOCK
;;
restart)
$DAEMON stop
sleep 3
$DAEMON start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0

I set Linux to start up on a 30 second delay when the phone is powered on. This works fine. But SoftEther will not start in service mode. I have to manually start SoftEther through the cmd line through ssh.

I ran the vpncmd vpn tools check and all checks pass.

When I installed CentOS 7, development tools, gcc, and libpcap on linux deploy it was missing packages. I had to install wget, make, and openssl-dev manually.

I believe it is missing somthing preventing SoftEther for starting on start up.

I switched distros to Debian Stretch. I realized the problem was I didnt have and couldnt get chkconfig.

I found a replacement but dont know how to use it. sysv-rc-conf

If anyone could tell me how to use this to auto start softether with this?

I'm going to try to figure it out with trial and error.

Now I'm using a different start up script for Debian I found on github.

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: vpnserver
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start daemon at boot time
# Description: Enable Softether by daemon.
### END INIT INFO
DAEMON=/usr/local/vpnserver/vpnserver
LOCK=/var/lock/subsys/vpnserver
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
$DAEMON start
touch $LOCK
;;
stop)
$DAEMON stop
rm $LOCK
;;
restart)
$DAEMON stop
sleep 3
$DAEMON start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0


when I run cmd:
sudo update-rc.d vpnserver defaults

I get no errors. When I check rc.d by running cmd:
ls /etc/rc*.d

I can see SoftEther has start for 2 3 4 5 and kill for 0 1 6

It is still not starting at boot. What am I missing? I've set this up to work on a VPS, why isnt it working on this Android phone running Linux Deploy? Could it have to do with Linux Deploy being a chroot environment?

[SOLVED]

Linux Deploy has a Init setting. It must be enabled.

Init: enabled

Init system: sysv

Init settings:

Init level: 3

Init user: root

Async: enabled
run the processes asynchronously
