Moving existing installation

Post by M.S.Electronic » Thu Aug 27, 2015 11:37 am

Hello, everyone.

I need to move an existing, configured, working, SoftEther VPN from one Windows 7 computer to another Windows Server 2012 computer.
So far I installed the VPN server on the new computer.
What must I do next ?

Thank you.

Do you want to just clone the current VPN on this new computer? If so you should copy the certificates and DNS key (which is used to obtain your domain) and then shut down the current one. Then when you are configuring the new one do the same thing, but edit the configuration file to use the DNS key and the certificate.

Yes, just clone. The PC it is on now is quite old and I need to replace it. How do I copy the certificate and DNS key ? Wich files do I need to copy ?

Thank you.

Move your vpn_server.config, chain_certs, server_log and security_log to your new server.
