Absolutely newb here. Please. Help.

Okay, I will say this straight.
- Been using computers since the age of 4.
- Worked as a developer, sysadmin, network admin.
- Never brag about it, but I feel like I can learn a software.
- Used countless VPN solutions in the past 10 years.
Yet. I just cannot tame SoftEther, no matter what.
All I want - to at least start out - is a simple link between my server and a client PC to reach the network share. Just to start, to start learning.
So, of course, I read the manuals, tutorials, all the documentation which is very well written by the way. Still, I am lost where I may have gone wrong.
Server: Windows Server 2016 [ 1 adapter, ipv4 ]
Client: Windows 10 Home [ 1 adapter, ipv4 ]
- Installed software on both (well, duh).
- Server:
-- Set "SecureNat and DHCP" setting to use 192.168.9.1 IP address, DHCP to give out 192.168.9.10-100 IPs, etc. Nothing fancy there.
-- SecureNAT is OFF, did not touch it.
-- That's about it, I added a new user and not much else.
- Client:
-- Set the client network interface in Windows to use 192.168.9.5 IP, gateway to 192.168.9.1, etc. Nothing fancy here either.
-- Connection works fine, it connects to a server.
Yet, I cannot ping my server IP [ 192.168.9.1 ] nor I can reach the share on it.
If I enable "SecureNAT", I can ping, but still, no network share. And the docs say I should not use that continuously anyhow.
=======================
tl;dr:
- want to learn SoftEther
- want dead simple link between server and PC (no internet reroute, like a "hide my traffic" way, just to reach network share)
- no matter what I do, it just refuses to work
=======================
Not that it helps, but on OpenVPN I just used the EasyRSA script, spat out the cert, wrote a few lines in config and it works like magic. What am I doing wrong? :(
