Adding new features to SoftEther software

Post by mahdaviyousefiamir » Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:51 pm

Greetings and courtesy

Please add the following items to the software if possible
The ability to set the charge, for example, 50 gig for each user (I went to the options and did not find an option to set the limit, for example, assign 50 gigs to the plan. The user gets 50 gigs, and when the limit is reached, it is cut off and requested again (charge) - Ability to add connection of any device with MAC address to Softher VPN Linux server and Softher Manager For Windows.

Please update SofEther management software for new Mac operating systems with Apple Silicon architecture processor (M1-M2).

Will these features be added in future updates?
Please, if possible, tell me the date of adding these facilities, I would appreciate it

Prerequisites
[Yes ] Can you reproduce?
[Yes ] Are you running the latest version of SoftEtherVPN?
**SoftEther version:*v4.41-9782-beta *
Component: [Server, Client, Bridge, etc.]
Operating system: [Windows, Linux(Server),macOS, ]
Architecture: [64 bit, 32 bit]
Thanks & Regards

SE server in "user policy setting" has the income/outcome traffic measured and it is no hard to developers to add this feature you mentioned.
So I think for some reasons they do not want to add this feature.

Question
Is there any way to set a data usage/limitation for a user?
Yes, You can use RPC-JSON API
- get a specific user "user policy"
- see the traffic has been used
- check with a limit you had/set
- if usage passed the limit
- send RPC-JSON to SE server to block that user

it could be a good feature for some conditions of traffic limitation.
But unfortunately up to now, SE server does not support this.
As @KatherineEddie mentioned , it is possible using API, but not easy for everyone :(
