The DNAT rules forward the publicly published TCP port 8443 to TCP port 443 on the SoftEther VPN Server virtual machine, while the publicly published UDP ports 5 are forwarded without any change. In the given example below, the Firewall rules define allowing TCP port 8443 and UDP ports 5 on the public IP address. For example, SoftEther VPN server may be published on the internet on TCP port 8443, which will then be forwarded as port 443 on the server itself. TCP port 443 is often used for publishing web servers, so it is possible to change the public port compared to the private port when publishing the SoftEther VPN server (port forwarding). When using SoftEther VPN clients it is necessary to publish TCP port 443 (HTTPS communication), while UDP ports 5 are necessary when using L2TP over IPSec. Depending on the type of VPN connection to be used, SoftEther VPN Client and/or L2TP over IPSec, the published ports are different. When choosing which software to install, select SoftEther VPN Server Manager (Admin Tools only).įor the SoftEther VPN server to be able to receive connections from a VPN client and the VPN Server Manager, it is required to publish all necessary ports. The installation process itself is very similar to the one for a SoftEther VPN Client for Windows.
