vpncmd Access has been denied
Posted: 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
