vpncmd Access has been denied

Post by ashah7 » Sun Dec 14, 2025 5:06 pm

I'm using the latest version of vpnclient and installing on raspberry pi 4 on Raspbian Trixe (OS Lite)
I believe the issue is also present on bookworrm

When using vpncmd I'm getting a prompt to enter a password when trying to manage locally
Using a blank password doesnt work
This is a fresh new installation



wget https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEth ... bit.tar.gz
tar -xvf softether*
cd vpnclient
make

Code: Select all

 pi@10000000255db291://home/pi/vpnclient $ sudo ./vpnclient start

pi@10000000255db291://home/pi/vpnclient $ sudo ./vpncmd

By using vpncmd program, the following can be achieved.

If nothing is input and Enter is pressed, connection will be made to localhost (this computer).
