Having trouble with adminip.txt

Hi guys,

Been testing this excellent VPN software and I'm still a bit worried about restricting admin access. Most topics mention adminip.txt but I can't seem to get it to work :(

Given my local network is 192.168.xxx.xxx I created a file (under Windows) of:

C:\Program Files\SoftEther\adminip.txt

containing:

10.0.0.1

and I could still use the admin tools, from any of my PCs :(

I'm obviously being a bit thick here :)

Use safe and long password for admin rights.

Ah, so you're implying adminip.txt is a broken feature, that's a shame :(

It seems strangely inconsistent that user authentication has soooo many options and restrictions and yet administration is just a password.

Is this to discourage people using SoftEther in production systems?

Adminip.txt should work.
Did you place the file into the folder which the executable of the service?
