SoftEther VPN User Forum

I want to create a Rasp-Pi VPN server using SoftEther. But possibly with some other features added in. My initial question is; Is one Pi unit with a dual NIC going to be better for overall performance and flexibility or does it not matter that much? I ask because I'm wanting to do a few things like allow devices within the network to access the internet as normal, be able to use the VPN device to act as a server to other connections from elsewhere, and of course use the server for my own devices when on the road.
I know. I'm asking for a lot. Let me know your thoughts. TIA

It's recommended but not essential.

If you are using local bridging to make a bridged connection between a Virtual Hub and a physical LAN as described in section 3.6 Local Bridges, we recommend you set aside a network adapter specifically for this purpose. This will result in the best performance when using local bridging.

Thank you for that! I will look at this now.

BTW... Is there any other information on using SoftEther on a Raspberry Pi device? Any help will help me. Thanks!
