I have a SoftEther VPN server at home, and personal laptop at school. I have a mobile hotspot but would like to use the VPN through the school internet. When I connect through my hotspot (before testing out the school internet). It says that it’s connected, but my I.P. address still the same as my hotspots.
EDIT: Apparently I have to enable SecureNAT. I can’t remember how I did it, but I’ll find out again when I have the time.
Need more info. What OS? Are you using the Soft Ether client or are you using the for example: Windows 10 built in VPN client?
Are you actually connected to the VPN? It sounds like are not
I’m taking a wild guess here but the hotspot you are using is separate from the computer and not routing its traffic through a vpn?
On the server, did you enable SecureNAT feature? You’ll need to go through the SecureNAT settings and enable everything and set your default gateway to the same value as the router address (it’ll make sense when you open that section).
Server is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Client is running Windows 10 Enterprise x64. I am using the SoftEther VPN Client. The client says I’m connected, but obviously it’s not actually tunneling my traffic at all, since my I.P. address is unaffected. I’m trying to figure out why this is happening.
It’s my phone’s hotspot. I’m trying to connect my laptop to the VPN. The hotspot is used to rule out issues with the school internet.
Could you give me some more detailed instructions?
having this same issue now
Is the phone using a vpn? Your laptop is going through the vpn but it shows the phones ip because it is between the vpn on the laptop and the internet. You could put a vpn on the phone. If you are still concerned about it run an ip leak test connected to your home network or with the laptop connected directly to the school WiFi.
Are you using the manager software or are you command line to administer the Server?
No, the phone is not using any VPN. The VPN is intended for my laptop.
Don’t worry, I found it a long time ago, and now my VPN is working.
I’m using the manager software BTW.
EDIT: If anyone wants to know where the SecureNAT setting is, message me.
From Google:
To enable the SecureNAT function, click on [Virtual NAT & Virtual DHCP Server (SecureNAT)] button in the VPN Server Manager and display the [Virtual NAT and Virtual DHCP Server function (SecureNAT) Setting] window (all subsequent explanations relating to SecureNAT assume that this window is open).
Sorry, is this not available for the client manager? I cant seem to find it anywhere
