SoftEther VPN User Forum

I am using SoftEther VPN Client and it says that I am connected to VPN but what my adapter says is different.


1. Management of VPN Server or VPN Bridge
2. Management of VPN Client
3. Use of VPN Tools (certificate creation and Network Traffic Speed Test Tool)

Select 1, 2 or 3: 2

Specify the host name or IP address of the computer that the destination VPN Client is operating on.
If nothing is input and Enter is pressed, connection will be made to localhost (this computer).
Hostname of IP Address of Destination: localhost

Connected to VPN Client "localhost".

It says state UNKNOWN.

I am following this thread too https://www.aspkin.com/forums/ip-addres ... toral.html

Any help will be much appreciated.

The IP address is assigned.
I think it works correctly.

But I don't received any packets :(

There isn't adding the static route to the VPN server in the tutorial that you show.
