SoftEther VPN Server Manager cannot access server via VPN

I put some 192.168 addresses in the adminip.txt to limit the connection will not from WAN due to security.

In parallel I bridge a virtual hub to eth0 so that all internet traffic will route through VPN and allow me to access server subnet. It works perfect. However in this situation I cannot connect to the server by SoftEther VPN Server Manager. It gives me "Connection to the server failed. Check network connection and make sure that address and port number of destination server are correct". How to make it?

It seems unclear.
Can you draw your network topology?

I followed https://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manu ... on_Sources and filled the 192.168.1.1 in the adminip.txt. I set my computer IP to 192.168.1.1 and the server IP is 192.168.1.6. In this situation, the Server Manager cannot be connected.

Make sure that the device for local bridge is not the same as the one listening on 192.168.1.6.

Then how to make the device for local bridge is not the same as the one listening on 192.168.1.6? I got one eth0 only and it has been bridged to a virtual hub.

On the other hand I am using xrdp as remote desktop on my CentOS server. The rdp connection freeze at connecting stage if I connect via VPN. It looks like the same situation.
