Title: OPNsense + Softether
Post by: ironworks on December 06, 2016, 09:26:43 pm
Hello everybody,

I'm trying to setup a basic Softether configuration on my OPNsense firewall. I already installed Softether VPN server and wrote a script to autolaunch the server on FreeBSD. They both works.

I created a Virtualbox lab and setted up OPNsense like :
WAN : interface em0 192.168.0.25/24
LAN : interface em1 192.168.1.1/24

The client on the WAN can communicate with the VPN Server thanks a fw rule i added.

I have to admit I never used nor configured a VPN server. So concepts like tap bridges and local bridges are difficul to understand for me despite all topics and documentations i read. I know i forgot something but i don't really understand how it works. Can you help me ?

Thanks :)

Any reason to choose a VPN other than the ones included? OpenVPN is admin friendly and has a good reputation for security.

Softether supports OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP and is available on multi platforms.
