On which OS you are running softether vpn? A Linux one?
If yes, take a look to the manual (3.6.11)

"Limitations within the Linux or UNIX operating system prevent communication with IP addresses assigned to the network adapter locally bridged from the VPN side (Virtual Hub side)."

No, you can't do it. This is a limitation in the linux kernel.

The only way to bypass this is to RDP a windows server or SSH a linux/unix server on the target network and from there to ssh the vpn server. if you have no server to rdp/ssh, no way.

If possible, you can make a "direct" ssh connection to the vpn server and use it parallel to the vpn connection.
The "offical" solution is a second phys. ethernet adapter. One for vpn, one for access the vpn server....
Maybe (i have no idea) a solution with some iptables-rules is possible...
