SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hello,

I've read and tested solutions provided in the thread "PC-to-LAN connection ok, but…" (https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4542) and I can't make it work.
My problem is exactly the same but I'm running FreeBSD, so the "tap" trick is not available:

- I can connect from an internet client to the public IP of the VPN server using L2TP/IPSec
- I get a LAN IP address provided by the isc-dhcpd service hosted on the VPN server
- I can reach other LAN machines

But:

- I can't ping or access in any way services hosted of the VPN server (like DNS for example)
- I can't access internet through the gateway (VPN server is on this gateway, obviously)

I'm running softether-4.29.9680_1 from FreeBSD packages, on FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE

Any hint or tutorial about this for FreeBSD ?
Thanks

There is a limitation of localbridge with FreeBSD.

Thank you. I must admit I've not understood everything but I did try to use a dedicated interface for bridging, without success :/

Your solution is for Linux, I'm not running Linux but FreeBSD. They greatly differ, in particular in the kernel and in the network implementation. I've followed many tutorials/solutions for Linux, none of them works on FreeBSD.
