VPS problem with SoftEther VPN client

Post by datawizard » Wed Oct 19, 2022 2:15 pm

Dear SoftEther Team
First of all I should thank you for your great software.

I have a VPS with a valid IP that I can connect it via remote desktop. I use SoftEther client to have a VPN client on my VPS.
As soon as the VPN client connects, I loose my remote connection to the VPS. And also lost my ip valid ping.

Do you have any recommendation for me to solve my problem?

Disable firewalls, make a VPN connection and post, as code, the output of:

Code: Select all

VPN server:
netstat -r
ipconfig /all
vpncmd localhost:port /server /password:*** /cmd BridgeDeviceList
vpncmd localhost:port /server /password:*** /cmd BridgeList
vpncmd localhost:port /server /password:*** /adminhub:@@@ /cmd SecureNatStatusGet
//replace: *** with SE admin password; @@@ with VPN hub's name

VPN client:
netstat -r
ipconfig /all
Redact public IP and private info, if any, but do not remove anything.

This is normal since when the VPS connects to the VPN, all traffic is redirected to the VPN.
You need to add a static route back to the remote desktop client.
