SoftEther VPN User Forum

Dears ,
ope you are fine , i will appreciate any help in this case please ,

now i setup Softether server and create a virtual Hub with two users , and i`m using OpenVPN android as a client , the android clients connected successfully and take an ip from the ip pools i configured from the secure NAT ,

Configuration is ip address from 192.168.30.2 to 192.168.30.254 , subnet mast 255.255.255.0

the android clients can ping on each others , but when i use broad cast address 192.168.30.255 , no device sense or detect this Packet !!!

can any one help me in this case ?

Some device not reply ping to broadcast address.
If you ping to broadcast address in LAN without VPN, Can you do ping to broadcast address?

Thanks ,
what i want is to send a voice samples from one device to another device over SofetherVPN Via Broadcast address

do you have any idea ?

That is Android's OpenVPN client's problem.
Since OpenVPN client for Android supports only layer-3 based tunnel (like PPP), the broadcast packet cannot be transmitted and relayed to the physical network on the destination VPN Server.

I suppose that this is the matter by design. If you want to use the broadcast IP packets over the VPN tunnel, you should use layer-2 based VPN clients (e.g. SoftEther VPN Client).
