SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi
I've successfully installed softether and I use it
but I can't connect with the server where softether is installed: ssh, http, ping, etc don't work
what I have to do?
thanks

Can you describe the things u did to set it up please? Do you have a client? Which? Did u program the firewall? What did u do?

I connect using L2TP/IPSec, using Windows client
I've Debian as server with no firewall

Sounds good. You say you have successfully connected using windows l2tp from a remote location to your home network. You can now access any other devices that are on your home network as if you were at home. Seeing the softether server is not something you would see if you were on another device on the home network without going through the normal "my network" process. And so you would have to do same here now that you are connected. It would be helpful to learn about this product. Here is a good way to become more familiar with its great capabilities http://www.softether.org/4-docs/1-manua ... N_Overview

when I am in my home network, I can ping server and access using ssh or http
when I am connected with VPN, I can't access server
I need to access it

Normal localbridge can't access to VPN server itself in Linux, so you need tap localbridge.
