Dear friends,

Just want to find out if it is possible to do a site to site tunnel using XTP proto for internal network?
Distance can be very far and would prefer this type of protocol to improve performance on live connections.


Thank you all! What a great experience I have had on OpnSense and a big shout-out to @Gauss23 who been so helpful to the community!

Hi guys, so my fairy-tale continues....

i have successfully installed and setup softether on OPNsense and I am running an L2TP only server.

My home WRT connects to it fin and manages very good speed obvously as there is no encryption however it doesn't not seems to happily open and close ports for my device to work correctly.

I am using a playstation connected to WRT running a L2TP client on a private network which connects and actually has great speed but my NAT type is 3.
I am running a virtual NAT on SofEther and also have upnp installed on my baremetal server but the ps4 remains strict NAT type 3.

I have done the same setup with ubuntu running softether and it has worked in the past. I think my issue now is a firewall one and as upnp doesnt seem to like softether I am tempted to disable the firewall but too afraid to do that.

I would like to know if I disable FreeBSD firewall stop IPFW would that be the same as disabling OPNsense. I am rather new to this system and moved here as I have heard how robust it is so just some advice would do me well. Is there a way to get UPNP working with softEther (@Franco) as you seem so knowledgeable about upnp and your email is on it too.


Thanks again.

Hi guys,

I am pretty new to OPNsense but you guys seem very quick at responding.

So my setup is a baremetal server running 20.7 OPNsense.
I am really trying hard to get the Wireguard VPN to work but really having zero luck, even paid pro engineers to help and they couldn't do it.
So here is why I am baffled... the server sees my client which im using the official windows app for as it shows my IP correctly and seems to be sending and receiving. I have attached to images for you to see. But on my laptop I am not receiving anything thus have no connection, i cant ping the server or anything like that. I have used WG on my laptop before without issues. I have followed multiple guides restarted multiple times but still no luck.
Has there been anyone else who may have had a similar experience.

I am to the point that I have to reconsider OPNsense completely. I flirted with Softether too as you may recall from my post yesterday but even that seemed to have a lot a trouble. But I have simply spent too much time to just give up on it so please any help would be so useful right now.


Thanks again in advance for anyone who can guess what is wrong.

Hi guys, I have working on a mini project for about 2 months now and now I am at this stage where I have a baremetal server running OPNsense 20.7 and I was naughty and installed SoftetherVPN via shell but afterwards i disabled the SHH access.

But what I stupidly did was at first bridged the LAN then after I did the same for WAN and now I am locked out the server. I cant log in with Softether on any of its ports and I cant load my OPNsense gui anymore either.

I would like to know if there is a way to salvage this or a way to disable I was to contact the ISP and see if the can do it via CLI? or even better if I can revive it?

I am really out of ideas and so your advice would be greatly appreciated.

If the only way is to have the ISP connect to it what do they have to type in the shell in order to diable Softether??

Or worst case do I have no choice but to reinstall it?
