SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hey! I am new to softether and vpngate. I am using vpngate servers and I wish to connect to some IP addresses directly, without routing through vpn. In other vpns, there were options of "Exclude Split Tunnel" or "Split Tunneling" but I can't see a similar option here in softether. How can I possibly achieve my goal?

Split tunnels are used for connecting to eg office LAN which is not applicable in VPN Gate context of course. To achieve your goal, simply add static routes to non-VPN IPs.

I am trying to understand what you are saying, but can you please tell me how and where to I add static routes? I am not much knowledged about these things. Or maybe refer me an article that explains how to do so? That would be of great help. I am trying to search it on google but I still have no idea what to do.

Don't use google search ;-)

Oh, this is so much better. Thanks a lot mate :)

Hi, first time user here. I tried Split tunneling and for some reason, it doesn't work in exclusion mode. I tried to have Edge as the browser that doesn't go through VPN but when I exclude it in the Split tunneling setting I can't connect to anything using Edge (rebooting doesn't solve this issue either). If I switch to use inclusion mode (meaning I choose Chrome to go through VPN only) then both Edge and Chrome worked as intended. I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that I missed. Could someone help? TIA

This MS application-level "split tunneling" is clearly described here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/micro ... lit-tunnel

If you can not adapt it for SoftEther client, then connect to a SoftEther server in SSTP mode and use a ready-made script from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... timization

Here's how you can do that.
1. Identify the IP addresses or subnets that you want to exclude from the VPN tunnel.
2. On your client machine, you can add custom routing table entries to route specific traffic outside of the VPN tunnel.
Here is the commands
Use the ip route or route command to add routing table entries. Replace <gateway_IP> with the IP address of your local network gateway
Then test the connectivity to the excluded IP addresses/subnets. I hope it helps.
