SoftEther VPN User Forum

I can connect successfully to my server using either the Softether vpnclient or openvpn. The log shows i have a connection. In the case ofopenvpn it gives me an IP address of 192.168.30.14 but i can't ping or telnet to this IP. In the case of the Softether vpnclient i have no idea what IP to ping. the above IP also fails.

I followed this guide. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... -softether

1. Server OS Ubuntu 14.04 x64, client OS Ubuntu 14.10 x64

2. ifconfig -a

4. (Ver 4.15, Build 9546, beta) server and client.

5. Using vpnserver and vpnclient.

6. No NAT or firewall, using a Digital ocean vps.

7. Using SecureNAT and following this guide as I have no idea how to setup a local bridge as yet. I can't get past square 1 yet.

8. My server config file could not be attached so is pasted here.

Where did you ping from?
Ping can't reach from outside of SecureNAT naturally.

I found that I had to install vpnclient on the server machine and EnableDhcp and DhcpSet in vpnserver. Next I ran dhclient on both the server and my laptop. Then I was able to ssh into the server.
