SoftEther supports many VPN configurations, including remote access of your LAN resources over a VPN connection. In this guide, we show you how to set up your own SoftEther VPN service.

You can, for example, connect to a SoftEther server using the L2TP/IPsec client built into most modern operating systems, or via any OpenVPN client. SoftEther servers can accept connections from a wide range of VPN protocols, so use of the SoftEther client is not necessary.

SoftEther is a free and open-source VPN client and VPN server software developed as part of a master's thesis research at the University of Tsukuba in Japan.īy default, SoftEther uses the SoftEther protocol - an SSL VPN protocol that its developers claim includes several improvements over OpenVPN (also an SSL VPN protocol).
