hi

my dera friend

you are right, and yhis problem started from 24 hours ago.

i think they stop traffic and knowledege about packet at layer7 and i said it before to soft ether but they said no firewall can find us

http://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1282

the reason that htpps works is much of users uses proxifier at https and it has LDAP authentication at ccproxy software.

and on softether we have one authentication and get IP from srver and when our connection stop the route doesnt work

we need to your help softether technical team

thanks

i analysed and think more

i think they have a limitaion of sun of kb of packets for files and applications that ARENT usual such as zip or html or exe and .... .

and they have dropping packet for unusal format.

can softether send packets from server to client in a format with application format such az zip file?

thanks

This option is available but I've tested it , NOT work unfortunately!!!!
You can test it also and please let us to know if it work in your server.
It is available in Properties, Advanced settings, Lifetime ..... Sec.
You can set the time of expiring every sessions.
But I'm nearly sure this kind of firewall check also destination IP. So the above option not work.

May.day! something strange happening

Post by itachi » Mon May 13, 2013 4:38 pm

After successful connection establishment with one of vpngate servers if I type inside the browser facebook.com and press enter, my destination identifies by Iran's firewall then blockage warning shows up in my browser. but with Https version of Facebook there is no problem! I tested this issue many times. how Iran could identify my destination through the VPN!? is SoftEther's packet identifiable when I going to open Facebook website?

itachi,
Once are connected to SoftEther, all your traffic hidden from the Iranian government. The only way they could send you a warning like that is if you are using an Iranian DNS to lookup facebooks's IP.

You can verify you DNS is not leaking by going to:
http://www.dnsleaktest.com/

I suggest you use Google DNS:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

or OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

as your DNS servers

Thank you LyWashberg,
the problem is gone before I change the DNS!

Hi Hyper,

I see that you've suggested 'https proxy' is working with low speed. Can I ask you a question in this regard?
Is 'https proxy' only usable for surfing (IE, Chrome ...) or it can be used for applications (email clients, skype ...) as well?

Thanks,
Mori

Hi, web based https proxy could not be used for skype. you should use tunnel software. please use this one: toonel.net which still works.
but as an alternative you can use team viewer for voice or video chat. that toy has very good quality plus you can directly connect.
