SoftEther VPN User Forum

Currently accessing internet through a modem with wifi capability, on pc.
I use softether VPN client along with public lists to address the firewall problem.
I would like to make PC a VPN server using Softether VPN server, using VPN server i choses in softether VPN client, so that i can access VPN while on the street, or far away home.
If i am home, i wish to make my VPN connection on PC shared via wifi modem to other devices.

If anyone can at least, point me a way before i jump into text manual. It would be very very helpful.

Is trying to setup my pc as vpn server that connects from the server i choose in public vpn list

I have setup a "Connection Srttings for VPN server" using localhost, admin mode, Direct TCP/IP, no password.
Using setup wizard, I ticked both "Remote Access VPN server" "Site-to-Site VPN server or VPN Bridge", Ticking "VPN Server that Accepts Connection from Other Sites(center)".
Enabled L2TP RAW, L2TP over IPsec and EtherIP/ L2TPv3.
Ticking VPN AZURE.
Created a user with no password

Concenring Set up local bridge, i found that i have 3 connection,1 is "VPN- VPN Client", other 2 has only 1 connected to internet. SO I choosed the connecting one as bridge.

Which IP do i enter in my IPAD ? I chooses the "dyanimc DNS hostname" in "dynamic DNS Function" > Using IPsec, no proxy, same user name i setup before.
VPN server has no response > change it to IPv4 addres. which is the same as the VPN server i am connecting on public vpn list.
VPN server has no response > changed proxy into manual > 0.0.0.0/0. Same outcome, so as with Dynamic DNS hostname.
I enabled SecureNAT buttion. Resarted Server. Tried the above 2 connection. Same result.


I saw this https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... VPN_Server > added TCP 500 and TCP4500. Doesnt work. Same result.
Saw this too. https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... Ad-hoc_VPN
Looked up my "SecureNAT Configration" > Entered my IPAD with the IP address in "Virtual Host's Newwork Interace Settings".Conneted. Vpn server has no response.


looked up this https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... Bridge_VPN
Go to Manage Casacade Connections > Take this server in public list as example, which i can connect with UDP connection
Standard password vpn vpn

uncheck "diasble NAT-T", Dircet TCP/IP, uncheck "always verify server Certificate", only virtual hub i use.
Port 5555.
DDNS > Error 1
IP > Error 9 user authencation failed
Host name > Error 9

Port 443 > same

HELP

Neither cascading nor bridging will work because VPN Gate servers' "security policy for the connecting user forbids both bridge mode and router mode".

You need to NAT it, like this https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php? ... 203#p98750

Or if you prefer a simpler but impermanent solution, go for a hotspot https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php? ... 625#p96280

i grasped your Referenced post and googled a bit. It looks very technical and i would probably find an aplication for that before actually learning the commands. Thank you very much
