Can Android mobile user with openvpn client works with SoftEther VPN server behind a firewall?

Post by wepee » Tue Mar 05, 2019 4:22 pm

Hi,

I am just wondering can Openvpn client app on my Android mobile phone works
with my Softether VPN server running locally behind my firewall? using VPN HTTPS?
If can, what is the configuration steps? I am searching for the tutorial.

I have found information about this:
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... of_OpenVPN

I could not find any more information on how to set or tutorial for that matter.

I was able to get L2TP over IPsec working on my Android using native software available in Android OS.

To get this working, I need to open some ports for the firewall on my pfSense.
However, I prefer not to open any port.

I am thinking of using openvpn client app on my Android phone using VPN HTTPS.
I am using the free VPN Azure service (VPN Azure Cloud Service) now.

So, I am thinking of CLOSING the ports on the firewall, since VPN HTTPS will able to penetrate
firewall without any port forwarding configuration, as long as I point the server to: XXXXXXX.vpnazure.net
(XXXXXX = your own site/name of the Softether VPN server)

Any advice will be most appreciated.

VPN Azure doesn't support OprnVPN.
