I compare the working version of APSync ( uname -a --> linux 4.19.66-v7+ ) utlizing dhcpcd daemon verse against the vesrion 4.19.97-v7+ utilizing Network Manager which encounters the non-working VPN situation.
This tutorial uses the siomiz/softethervpn Docker image to launch a SoftEther VPN server inside a Docker container. You can then connect to this VPN from your desktop or laptop computer, and use it to access the Internet through a secure tunnel. This method is fast and easy, and requires you to run only one command on your server.
Honestly though why wouldnt you want to set up a VPN without needing a port forward. You dont have to worry about configuring any routers/firewalls for port forwarding which makes life a lot easier. The negative side of bypassing port forward rule creation on your firewall (bypassing NAT) means there is got to be a 3rd server (the azure softether server), and that means that both sides (remote and client) connect to the middle server (the azure softether, 3rd server). Im not sure if the data flows thru there once the connection is established. If it does im sure you dont have to worry about security as everything is encrypted. However if data flows thru the middle server we might be bogged down on our bandwidth/thruput (there is no way there middle server can handle the traffic of every softether azure connection) and also latency. So I assume its just negotiating the connection, making our routers believe there is a connection by hand holding the creation of the connection, and then once the connection is made both sides can switch to communicating directly. So the if im correct after all of the connection business with azure setup is done, your data connection will be directly between your client and your remote (not going thru their middle server). Every time I used azure it was pretty fast (but then again my bottlenecked thruput, my upload at my house is pretty miserable == Comcast). Anyhow I assume they use this later method and the data doesnt flow thru any middle man. (kind of like the leafp2p patent vpn technology that is used in )
So now we have created a virtual hub on our home windows PC which allows a client to connect and access anything on the network. The only information you will need is your azure fqdn which we set as infotinks123.softether.net and also your virtual hub name which is VPNX and your port your running the server on (which is 1194, 5555, 443, you can use any of those), and your username and password which we have as user1 and 12345. Also dont forget to note the password which you picked when you created the setting mymanagepassword.
NOTE: you will notice in the config it asks to connect to your infotinks123.softether.net which will look like this if your using IPV4 infotinks123.v4.softether.net (both point to the same addresses). Also if you have your own Domain name (such as myplace.infotinks.com), then your domain name & the 2 softher.net address will point to the same address. So they are all interchangeable in the config.
