Hi!

I try to connect with the built in client in windows 10 to softether SSTP but it fails.
I have opened in firewall for tcp/443
I have activated SSTP in Softether
L2TP connections work to softether so there is nothing wrong with the user settings in the virtual hub
I have added let´s encrypt cert with correct CN name.
I have added the SSTP connection in Win10 and activated PAP on the adapter

All i get in the logs is:
2022-04-04 15:21:35.032 On the TCP Listener (Port 443), a Client (IP address *.*.*.*, Host name "host-*-*-*-*.*.com", Port number 44879) has connected.
2022-04-04 15:21:35.032 For the client (IP address: *.*.*.*, host name: "host-*-*-*-*.com", port number: 44879), connection "CID-269" has been created.
2022-04-04 15:21:35.072 SSL communication for connection "CID-269" has been started. The encryption algorithm name is "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384".
2022-04-04 15:21:56.276 Connection "CID-269" terminated by the cause "Connection has been disconnected." (code 3).
2022-04-04 15:21:56.276 Connection "CID-269" has been terminated.

What error the client logs? If "error 720", check this.

Already gone through all the steps in that guide, did not work. :(

Actually i think it has something to do with the:

Code: Select all

/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2
When i installed softether i had to change it to 1 because of warnings.

I will now install the latest version from source instead of using the old version in debian repository.

Yes this was it.
Upgrade to latest version and make sure openssl is configured with:
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2
