Hey guys, i am having trouble trying to connect to my sofether server VPN. I have tried with softether DDNS and following the tutorial with VPNAZURE DDNS but nothing seems works.
I have disabled windows firewall and also forwarded 443 port to the machine hosting the software.

Assuming the following on your SE server...

Re: Softether not working over NAT
Then you're good to go as VPN Azure always works regardless of NAT or port forwarding.
What's the error message from your SE client?

Re: Softether not working over NAT
Hello, now it is working.
First i was getting an error with 443 port was beeing used from some service in SERVER machine(windows 11 pro). It was a default service called "Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol Service" . Then windows default VPN client showed an error "The PPP link control protocol was terminated" instead tested the connection using softether client and it worked, i would like to know why the windows 11 default vpn client isnt working if you know what that error means
Thanks for your help.

Re: Softether not working over NAT
VPN Azure supports SE native VPN protocol and MS-SSTP.
In SE server you need to enable MS-SSTP.
In Windows client you need to choose MS-SSTP protocol, import the server's certificate and properly address the SE server.
In short, just use SE client :-)
