I have never had this problem in older versions so I am confused, please help. SoftEther VPN is one of the world's most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software, made by the good folks at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. When directly editing the Configuration file to perform very minor special settings. Connection to the VPN Server for administration sessions is possible from a local or remote computer, and if the VPN Server is connected to the Internet, then administration connection and remote administration of the VPN Server is theoretically possible from anywhere in the world. Just noticed this after installing it today. In addition, both the number of [Static Virtual Hubs] and [Dynamic Virtual Hubs] are displayed for the cluster environment. The configuration version number is written in the upper part of the Configuration file by the [uint type] named [ConfigRevision]. The data size of these packets is extremely small and their contents are generated using random numbers. It then re-launches the process, re-reads the contents of the Configuration file and attempts to continue operation. Static information on the VPN Server can be obtained by clicking on [SoftEther VPN Server information] in the VPN Server Manager. Yes, I mean particularly client, not server. Here we will first explain the know-how and handling methods required to administer the entire VPN Server. These log files and history files consume a large amount of disk space when the VPN Server has been operating over a long period. Setup and Configuration of FreeRadius + MySql on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit. Usually a [Stand-Alone Server]. This function is enabled in default mode. To derive a sense of satisfaction from the knowledge that VPN Server which you worked so hard to set up is being used by many users to communicate large quantities of data. The VPN Server is set by default to delete old log files starting with the oldest until the space available on the drive to which the log files are being written is restored to 100MB or greater (104, 857,600 bytes to be precise). (loaded as a package), grabbed the windows configuration GUI problem and ran into a few problems. iOS, Android, Mac OS X or other L2TP/IPsec VPN compatible client devices can connect to your SoftEther VPN Server. Statistical information can be displayed on the GUI window using the VPN Server Manager by selecting the VPN Server Virtual Hub user object and group object. Still, self repair may not work properly in special cases where the contents of the program error are very serious and the code of the portion to re-launch the VPN Server process has been dumped, or when the cause of the error stems from the current contents of the VPN Server's configuration such that an error occurs for a similar reason even when launched the next time around (which is especially likely to occur when the Configuration file has been manually re-written). If the size of the Configuration file exceeds several tens of megabytes, then handling it as a binary file is more efficient. By deleting old log files of less importance, it is possible to continually ensure a prescribed amount of available disk space thereby maintaining the ability to write log files as much as possible. Using the below commands, update your software. The function can also send out alerts when specific log contents are generated in the software of the syslog receiver. Default Virtual HUB in a case of omitting the HUB on the Username: Users must specify the Virtual Hub they are trying to connect to by using Username@TargetHubName as their username when connecting. The Syslog Transmission function is set to off in default mode, and can be activated by accessing the [Encryption and communication settings] in the VPN Server Manager. To modify the Keep Alive Internet Connection function's settings, open the [Encryption & Network] in the VPN Server Manager, then click [Keep Alive Internet connection function] and enter the settings in the relevant boxes. In many cases where there is software or hardware defect, errors occur which are either difficult or impossible to repair such as a memory access violation, calling up an unknown directive or an unauthorized interrupt. Even if the operating systems and CPUs used for the copy source VPN Server and the copy destination VPN Server are different, the configuration information is copied verbatim and the compatibility of the Configuration file is maintained between the two. To make softether start as a service you will have to create a startup file called vpnserver inside the folder /etc/init.d/. by Suncatcher Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:18 am, Post You can download SoftEther Server Manager for Windows using their website and do the configuration using the GUI that it provides, which is a preferable way if you are a Windows user. Now that we have all the necessary packages installed, we can compile SoftEther using the following command: And run make to compile and install softether: SoftEther will ask you to read and agree with its License Agreement. Furthermore, the user verification-oriented user authentication database and access list, trusted certificate list, RADIUS server settings, SecureNAT settings and cascade connection settings are managed by the Virtual Hub units and are completely independent of each other. It is also a simple task to acquire the Configuration file and process that mechanically. Enable Raw L2TP Server Function: This will enable L2TP VPN for clients with no IPSec encryption. I have personally tried it on Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and Fedora and it has worked well for me. At a minimum, you will need to: a) Choose a name for the VPN connection. The maximum simultaneous number of connections, for instance, is also shown here. The Cluster Member Server always displays 0 because it does not hold any group databases. If the Configuration file does not exist on the disk when the VPN Server is launched, the default settings are applied. This value can be modified arbitrarily by changing the [AutoDeleteCheckDiskFreeSpaceMin] value located in the [ServerConfiguration] node within the Configuration file. This will designate the certificate as a server-only certificate by setting nsCertType =server. These processes are carried out in a location of which the user is completely unaware. 443 where there is a firewall or proxy server which only allows web or other partial protocol to pass. For example, granting administration access to Virtual Hub "HUB1" from two IP addresses 192.168.3.10 and 130.158.87.87, and to Virtual Hub "HUB2" from IP address 61.197.235.210 would be described as follows. The VPN Server sets the RC4-MD5 algorithm as the default encryption and electronic signature algorithm for use in SSL transmission. In the vpncmd utility, use the [ServerInfoGet] command. This is why a backup needs to be made in advance if the Configuration file must be edited. That is why it is essential for the VPN Server Administrator to register the listener ports in advance. Cisco routers or other vendor's L2TPv3 or EtherIP comatible router can also connect to your SoftEther VPN Server. Even assuming that the problem does not lie with the software, consideration should also be given to potential hardware defects. The Keep Alive Internet Connection Function allows TCP/IP or UDP/IP packets to be sent to a designated host port number at prescribed intervals. If a hardware failure (such as a sudden power outage) occurs when the VPN Server program is attempting to write physical data to the Configuration file, the physical contents of the Configuration file may be damaged. Binary file formats are those which can be handled directly by the CPU so they can be quickly processed. Enter your administration password for the hub. Copyright 2022 Global Cloud Infrastructure. For example, when general users are able to log onto the VPN Server computer in addition to System Administrators, sufficient precautions should be taken to prevent these other users from rewriting the adminip.txt file. by bitbull Sat Jul 13, 2019 1:29 pm, Post I have never had this problem in older versions so I am confused, please help. Displays the 64-bit time data administered internally by the VPN Server. The other 2 servers give me complete functional Sample Config files. Displays the total number of IP address tables within all Virtual Hubs administered by the VPN Server. For UNIX operating systems excluding Windows, no TCP/IP port numbers below 1024 can be opened while the server is running on general user authority. Whenever the TCP/IP listener ports disclosed to the network by the VPN Server are connected to a public IP network such as the Internet, they are constantly vulnerable to attack from Internet hosts. As of this writing, the latest version for a linux 64bit distribution is (Ver 4.21, Build 9613, beta).

Please answer questions if you can afford. This can only be displayed on Windows operating systems. On Windows 2000 or later OS versions where a disk quota is set in relation to the account running the VPN Server, this disk quota's allocated space is used as the available disk space. In other words, administration access in Virtual Hub Administration Mode to HUB3 as described below is permitted for all of the source IP addresses. Thanks. We recommend using TCP/IP port 5555 to connect to the VPN Server where no hindrances exist, and port no. As such, it is necessary to protect the Configuration file with suitable security functions where multiple users are able to log in either locally or remotely. by bucko1994 Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:31 am, Return to SoftEther VPN General Discussion. In addition to recording settings entries for the entire VPN Server settings, Virtual Hub and user groups settings, the configuration data administered by the VPN Server also records statistical information on each of these objects. SoftEther is not just a protocol; it's an entirely free and open-source software package. The Configuration file (vpn_server.config) is stored in the UTF-8 format so its contents can be edited with a common text editor. It is also possible to select other algorithm. The tree-like data is administered in this manner in text format in order from the top of the tree-like structure called "root". In most cases, this is successful and the contents of the configuration are restored.

For those users whose login access is clearly large, the information can provide the first hints as to whether a user password has been stolen and a third party is accessing and using the server illegitimately. Where no particular SSL certificate is designated, the VPN Server will automatically generate a random certificate (Self Signed Certificate) using random numbers upon the initial launch of the VPN Server,thereisno problemwithusing this default certificate as it is when there is only a small group environment and the digest value and so on can safely be notified to the VPN Client's users. Therefore, please be aware that when the syslog server does not launch or when problems arise between the communicating syslog servers, or when the processing capacity of the syslog server and any intermediate networks or protocol stacks is insufficient, the contents of these logs which should essentially be saved will instead be lost, regardless of whether the syslog function is enabled. By creating a text file named [adminip.txt] on the directory on which the VPN Server is installed (the directory containing the vpnserver executable files) and performing a suitable description on said text file, it is possible to set IP addresses which permit access to the entire VPN Server or to each of the Virtual Hubs from the Server Administration Manager or vpncmd utility. In default, the backup folder is automatically protected using the same permission settings as the Configuration file. Port no. Choose SoftEther VPN Client (2) and click Next (3). You might use this config file # in order to connect to the PacketiX VPN / SoftEther VPN Server. Meanwhile, 992 is a port number for the TELNET over SSL (Telnets) protocol, which is practically unused today, and can pass through most firewalls (although it often fails to pass through proxy servers). It is also necessary to implement settings to prevent them from being accessed by anyone other than the Administrators even over a network. If the VPN Server settings information is corrupted or erroneous settings (such as deleting an important Virtual Hub) are performed, the most recently saved Configuration file backup can be restored manually. The exact settings required depend on how the SoftEther server has been configured. String processing is required to write large volumes of settings data, and this consumes CPU time so performance declines as the settings data grows larger. The same function can also be used to upload a Configuration file prepared on the Administrator's client terminal. What am I doing wrong?
