Can SoftEther replace Cisco VPN client

Post by sampson » Tue Apr 16, 2013 1:46 am

My company is using Cisco Router as VPN, which requires the Cisco VPN client.

Can the SoftEther VPN client be used also?

Of course, I cannot change the Server Side. I just want to have one less VPN client installed in my computer.

No.
SoftEther VPN Client can only connect to SoftEther VPN server (or PacketiX VPN Server).

How about SoftEther Server?

I read it can form a Site-to-Site VPN with Cisco Router, so can that be used as a "Cisco VPN Client"?

Thank you very much for the reply!

SoftEther VPN Server can act as only a server.
There is no entry to input opposing VPN server.

Its a shame. You'd really have something if you made the SoftEther Client compatible with Cisco VPN Server. Talk about a migration path and a reputation. People would really know the product's brand and more than likely more adoptions for the server product. You are really missing out by not providing this functionality. As it is now, I have to look elsewhere and will make a mental note of, "oh yeah, that product was in a silo".
