Use SoftEther on Windows as VPN Endpoint.

Posted on August 25, 2015
  • Install SoftEther and configure it for L2TP/IPsec with a pre-shared key.
  • Add a user to the virtual hub and give it a password.
  • Use SoftEther‘s virtual hub SecureNAT feature to configure a DHCP server (without enabling the virtual NAT server). Failure to configure the DHCP server may result in error 720 when attempting to connect from a client.
  • Use SoftEther‘s Local Bridge feature to establish a bridge connection between the virtual hub and the physical Ethernet adapter. Failure to do so may result in inability to access LAN resources.
  • Forward UDP ports 500 and 4500 through router to the SoftEther host.
  • Configure the client workstation to connect using MS-CHAPv2.
