SoftEther VPN User Forum

Can I create connection in Client from OpenVpn file? Yes, I mean particularly client, not server. I know SoftEther server can clone OpenVPN, but I ask about client-side facilities.
I want to connect to third-party server, not SoftEther, and I was given a config.

The question is not clear, sorry

- You have an ovpn file for the client
- You want to connect using this file to a vpn server (not Softether)

Is this correct?

Exactly! Can SoftEther client do that?

Ok. So this is not a SoftEther related question at all??

Where is the problem? If you have an ovpn file and you don't want to use SoftEther as a server, then you can use OpenVPN as a server

No, you misunderstood me. The server I want connect to is not mine and it is paid VPN service. I just was given a OVPN config through which I can connect to it. I want to connect as a subscriber, I don't want to set up my server.
It is definitely SoftEther-related question. Because I ask about SoftEther client.

Ok. So which protocols does this VPN Server support? Ether SSL, OpenVPN etc???

So you want to "copy" the configurations inside the ovpn file into SoftEther client?

Here's a tutorial on how to setup a SoftEther client

Open the ovpn file and copy the needed attributes to SE Client

PPTP, L2Tp and OpenVPN. But I want to use exclusively OpenVPN, I don't wan't to use less secure protocols.

By "copying the attributes" you mean connecting via PPTP? I don't see where I can enter private key or CA or other OpenVPN attributes in SoftEther connection settings.
I am interested particularly in connecting via OpenVPN to third-party server.

No I just meant copying the single attributes like url, public certificate etc.. to SE client
PPTP is not supported in SE anyway

I can't see as well where private key could be entered into the client. You can however load the CA using the button "Specify Individual Cert". It accepts the PKCS#12 which mean you can specify the CA,key and public certificate in one file (I assume)

But out of curiosity, why in your case are you trying to use SoftEther at all. Isn't it easier to use OpenVPN client?

Because I want to combine my paid VPN-servers and open relay servers in one client.

SoftEther VPN client doesn't support OpenVPN, L2TP or PPTP.
It only supports SoftEther VPN protocol.
