Softether working with Parallels

[Rolf]

Hi,

Wanted to ask if Softether VPN can work with Parallels with no glitches? Parallels is a software used so a Mac computer would be able to run a Windows OS. I tried before and was able to install Softether VPN but when I try to create a Virtual Drive, it keeps saying that it failed to install the drive.

Can anyone help me with this issue or is there another way or a fix?

Additionally, can Softether VPN run on Mac computers with Chip/Processors that are using Apple instead of Intel? The Mac computer is using Parallels which is a program that lets you install and use a Windows OS. But this cant help if the chip/processor wont be compatible with the program or app?

No, in a VM it's the same solution as viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69488
For non-VM, use SSTP Connect or Tunnelblick.

Thank you Solo! We opted in using Tunnelblick and we are able to connect this VPN using Mac OS. After installation, the applications and tools that are running are a .exe which can only be used using Parallels which uses a Windows OS. Do we just switch to Parallels so we can run these programs? Basically we use the VPN for authentication so we can connect the application (the .exe) to our database. Thanks Again!

Sure, it will work but in this usage context a VPN with SSTP or OpenVPN from within Parallels may be a better option, unless you're happy with all of Mac's traffic on the VPN.
