Newbie question: what is SoftEther?

Post by georgepardo » Fri Oct 18, 2024 8:45 am

Guys... first post here.
BEFORE posting, I've spent many minutes trying to read up and understand what SoftEther is.
I've tried watching YouTube videos.
And am clueless.

SoftEther: let's you make your own VPN.
HOW?
This part I am struggling with.

- If I get a Linux VPS server, can I setup a VPN through this?

- From what I have read, I can setup a VPN at home - assuming through my existing ISP.
What's the point of that? I'm coming from the point of view of using the VPN for my own purposes.
If renting out a VPN... then, I can understand.

- You can use your mobile connection to make a VPN?
How? Need more explanation.

- Do I need extra hardware to make a VPN?

For me... at the end of the day, it's all about having different IP addresses that I can use and switch while using the internet.
Setting up a VPN facility is one thing... but then where (and how) does one get more (dedicated) IP addresses to use with the service?
