SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hello,

on of our partner has a running softerVPN server on a virtual server with different virtual hubs. One of the virtual hubs is now setup for us to connect our pcs with the vpn network. We have a server in the datacenter where different software aplication is running, the aplication need a connection to on printer over ther internal TCP-IP not VPN-IP. Now we have try following things:

1) Create two new brdige users on virtual hub
2) Install on one internal pc the softether bridge software and connect with the virtual hub
3) Install on the server in the datacenter the softether bridge software and connect with the virtual hub
4) When I check the IP-Tables I can see all internal subnets from both side datacenter and internal office

What I need or can I doo that I can ping from the 192.168.80.0/24 net (datacenter) the internal office devices located in subnet 192.168.90.0/24? Or is this not possible with this setup? On bot sides internal office a DHCP is running for 192.168.90.0/24 network and in datacenter a second DHCP is running for 192.168.80.0/24 subnet. Is this maybee with a routing possible?

I´m not sure if the partner need to create a bridge mode for the virtual hub on the softether vpn server? But is there a security issue regarding the other existing virtual hubgs?

Thanks in advanced

Use L3 switch https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php? ... 688#p96682

Hello,

thanks for your reply, I have checked the solution with layer 3 but I get not running the setup. Just to clearify if my unterstanding is working:

1) PC side A and PC side B are connected via Softether Bridge with the same hub in datacenter
2) The VPN server is directly connected to the internet over wan without switch / router etc. and a public static ip address


What we are trying to accomplish, we need to get the internal networks not the VPN networks to communicate. Problem we can not make settings on the routers and switches. Therefore if necessary we would have to do the routing via the Windows PCs A and B.

Now my question, is it technically solvable and if so you might experience the practice here because unfortunately I reach my limits.

Thanks in advanced and sorry

Incorrect, use separate hubs, review the docs...

L3 switch does what you expect on LAN, not VPN, just adapt the above-linked forum example and only change the names and subnets, then add static routes to PCs.
