I am running softether server on a virtualbox instance of Centos7 which is itself running on a Mac running mojave. Softether itself seems to be running ok, but I am having issues with the IP address/port setup. I have been following this tutorial and got to the end of step 9. I only want the L2tp ipsec setup for my phone and computers, so I am skipping the openvpn setup. I moved on to the client setup step and am getting stuck at the section:
Then enter your SoftEther VPN server's IP and Port number.
The port number could be any port that you have set as listening on your server.
By default, SoftEther listens on these four ports: 443, 992, 1194, 5555.
Here as an example where we use port 443:
Code: Select all
Destination VPN Server Host Name and Port Number: [VPN Server IP Address]:443
Code: Select all
./vpnserver start
I also attempted to connect to the vpn from my phone's built in client using that IP address from $ip addr, the my user/password I created, and the shared secret I created. This would hang for a bit and then be unsuccessful/disconnect. What could I be missing in the server setup, the network config, virtualbox settings, anything? I don't know what the next move to try and fix this should be.
