is there a way to limit the traffic per user for example 150gb then the account must be reset...
I searched in the group setting but didn't find anything...

From what I know there you cant limit the amount of traffic a user can use, only the speed.

Radius doesn't work either because softether doesn't communicate with RADIUS after it's authenticated. (Atleast i think so lol)

Would love to be able to limit the traffic aswell :)

You may assign a VLAN per user and do VLAN tagging on the tap device. After that, you should be able to measure the traffic of each user using your own OS. However, I have no idea about the detailed steps.

Its already measured in SoftEther tho :p. You can see how much each user have used but you cant set a limit.

Therefore, additional software is required.

It depends on your OS because you will be using vlan tagging on your tap device, with one VLAN assigned to one user.
