Hi, please disable SecureNAT (if enabled), unbind on the MLA everything except IPv4, uninstall non-MS antivirus or anything else which is using a network filter driver. Reboot, re-test - if unresolved post as code: ipconfig /all

Temporarily disable Radmin VPN. If you still get BSOD, post as code: ipconfig /all again because '/all' must be included, and 'as code' looks like this:

Code: Select all

ipconfig /all

No worries. Temporarily disable Teredo Tunneling, note...
Microsoft Windows as of Windows 10, version 1803 and later disable Teredo by default.

Yeah AV_SeLow_x64!unknown_function is very interesting. This bug appears unresolved viewtopic.php?t=67128
Post by cedar » Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:10 am
SeLow is a device driver for processing local bridges. There have been other reports of OS crashes caused by this driver, but the location of the crash seems to be different from the other reports.
You have 3 options:
  1. post more logs to explore this issue further
  2. submit a bug report here https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/issues
  3. deploy a workaround
Before you ask about #3...
- delete the bridge
- enable SecureNAT
- apply viewtopic.php?f=7&t=67645#p96384

Hi Solo,

Thank you again for suggestions,

The issue is resolved now.

I noticed that one of the services was occasionally using ALL RAM, it was windows defragmentation.

I believe with no RAM left, calling function in SeLow_x64.sys ends up with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and system crashes, all this when Local Bridge is set up and SoftEther VPN server is online.

I stopped defragmentation service and have not had any restarts or RAM Issues anymore.

I'm not sure if this project is further developed, but fixing this bug would be nice.
