Install

1. Install Server (Debian) (run with sudo):

apt-get install sudo build-essential libreadline-dev libssl-dev libncurses-dev zlib1g-dev git cmake -y
./server.sh
# Set a password

Use

• Portable, built for travel, public Wi-Fi, and remote work
• Easy to use:
  • Turn on/off with the switch button (Left = ON / Right = OFF)
  • Connect any type of device to the Wi-Fi from the box or use Ethernet LAN port
  • Connect to wireless networks through the Web UI (see 'Repeater mode') or use Ethernet WAN port

You can permanently disable with

/etc/init.d/sevpn disable

Or re-enable with

/etc/init.d/sevpn enable

Troubleshooting

Turn off 'DNS Rebinding Attack Protection' in Web UI if you encounter problems with receiving the captive portal from public hotspots.

For any other issues see the logs with

less -f /var/log/sevpn.log

Protocol Info

SoftEther VPN aims for bypassing network filters and firewalls by finding any encapsulating method that works, including HTTPS (TLS 1.2) and SSH encapsulation.

Server port statically set to TCP 443. If you want to change the port, change it in both scripts prior executing them.
