When will the latest official version of Softether be released?

Post by millkiss » Thu May 28, 2026 1:49 am

Hello,

I have been following the development progress of SoftEther.

Currently, Microsoft has released MS Windows 11 ver. 25H2.

The latest stable version of SoftEther VPN is: (Ver 4.44, Build 9807, rtm)

Does the project team have any plans to release a new stable version?

Many thanks.

Hello SoftEther Team,

We are currently evaluating SoftEther VPN for use in a production environment.

While reviewing the project, we noticed that the latest official release appears to have been published over a year ago. Before proceeding further, we would appreciate some clarification regarding the current status of the project.

Could you please advise:

* Is SoftEther VPN still actively maintained?
* Are security vulnerabilities and bug fixes still being addressed?
* Is there an upcoming release or roadmap that has not yet been published?
* Would you recommend SoftEther VPN for new deployments today?

We appreciate your time and any information you can share.

Thank you.

i use the client on windows 11 26H2 and i look at this part that says 128bit AES encryption and I know 256bit AES has been out for many years.
If 128 is so good why was 256 released to replace it.

Windows 26H2 is here and I’d like to see the tunnel encryption enhanced to 256bit myself

AES256 has been supported since the inception viewtopic.php?t=68790#p100861

You'd better enable anti-MitM than worry about AES viewtopic.php?t=70178#p105038
