SoftEther VPN Server unreachable for admin on macos Mojave
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2024 6:55 pm
Hi,
I had the server v4.42 built, installed and working nicely on OS X 10.9 and 10.11 El Capitan. .install.sh, then vpnserver start, then vpncmd, then caps and hublist, all OK.
I installed it on Mojave and can't get it to work !
Configs :
- All 10.9 10.11 and 10.14 configs are VMWare Fusion 11.5.7 VMs.
- All 3 VMs have their own IPv4
- SIP seems not to be the problem as it is disabled on 10.14.
- Full disk access is allowed for vpnserver, vpncmd (and hamcore.se2 in case it is needed).
- I have tried both sudo su before manual launch in Terminal and placing a successful plist in the LaunchDaemons folder with a Restart.
The vpnserver process starts and shows in Activity monitor but it does not operate properly on 10.14 :
- The log folders are not created.
- The config file is not created.
- The server can't be reached on any port.
- No ports related to the vpnserver are shown by a port scan using Network monitor (but they show on 10.9 and 10.11).
- At last, chmod -R 777 on the whole vpnserver folder changes nothing (before you ask ;) )
I have seen posts related to successful use on macOS releases newer than 10.14, so it should work…
Does anyone know what I did wrong ?
