SSTP work but softether client can't connectted

Post by jular » Tue Jan 10, 2023 1:55 am

I have three computers and a Android device.
Computer A: Windows 10, Private IP behind the firewall without gateway privilege. Installed the Softether server and Softether client. Vpnazure enabled.
Computer B: Windows 10, Private IP behind the firewall but I have gateway privilege. Installed the Softether server and Softether client.
Computer C: Windows 7, Private IP behind the firewall without gateway privilege. Installed the Softether server and Softether client.
Mobile phone D: Android operating system.

Now, Computer B(as Softether client) can connect to Computer A (as Softether server). Computer A (as Softether client) can connect to Computer B (as Softether server). Computer C (as Softether client) can connect to Computer B (as Softether server).
Mobile D (with SSTP client) can connect to Computer A (as Softether server) via vpnazure. remote control ,FTP apps work well.
BUT, Computer C(as Softether client) can't connect to Computer A (as Softether server). however, Computer C can connect to the Softether server on Computer A via vpnazure with windows built-in VPN. But I can do nothing, such as remote control ,FTP,ping.... does't work well.

Who can help me: Q1,why Computer C can't connect to Computer A with Softether client ? Q2,after computer C connectting to Computer A via vpnazure with windows built-in VPN,why command PING dos't work?

On Computer A run:

Code: Select all

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" new enable=yes
Now re-try your Q2.

As for Q1...

What's the server's response to Computer B browsing https://[Computer A].vpnazure.net/

What's the server's response to Computer B browsing https://[Computer C].vpnazure.net/

What's the server's response to Computer C browsing https://[Computer A].vpnazure.net/

What's the server's response to Computer C browsing https://[Computer B].vpnazure.net/

;-)

Thanks.
Question 2 has solved. but it is not stablity. sometimes online,sometims offline and reconnet automaticly. So I'd like to use Softether client.
my computer topology looks like this:

For Question 1, server's responses are listed below:

Re Q1 "why Computer C can't connect to Computer A" - let's recap.
What's the server's response to Computer B browsing https://[Computer A].vpnazure.net/
- red/NO

What's the server's response to Computer B browsing https://[Computer C].vpnazure.net/
- red/NO

What's the server's response to Computer C browsing https://[Computer A].vpnazure.net/
- red/NO

What's the server's response to Computer C browsing https://[Computer B].vpnazure.net/
- green/OK

What's the server's response to Computer A browsing https://[Computer B].vpnazure.net/
- green/OK

What's the server's response to Computer A browsing https://[Computer C.vpnazure.net/
- red/NO
So from a browser no computer can connect to A, not just C. Perhaps you are not addressing it properly? It must be like https://vpn12345678.vpnazure.net/ not http://...

Also try it from Firefox browser, its responses are:
OK - "Secure Connection Failed"
NO - "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." or "Server not found"

I'm running this VPN Azure test on the most restrictive connection possible, from a cell phone Firefox client to a cell phone internet SoftEther server. VPN Azure works (for me) despite no port forwarding and multiple private subnets along the way.

On the A server can you see "Enable VPN Azure --> Status: Connected"?

Thanks.
Firefox browser from C to A,it responses :
"Secure Connection Failed"
On the A server i can see "Enable VPN Azure --> Status: Connected"
I think VPNAzure works. so C can connent to A with windows built-in SSTP (not stability).

I mean B can connent to A with Softether client, while C can't connent to A with Softether client. why?
is there any additional setting on C, or specific port,or other reasons ?
just like this(C to A):

Look at your picture, C is not connecting to A via VPN Azure - no wonder it does not work.

What a waste of time!
