SoftEther VPN Server implements the VPN server function. VPN clients and endpoints supporting other VPN protocols may also be used this includes many routers from Cisco, Juniper, Linksys (with DD-WRT), Asus, and others.
It serves mobile devices running iOS, Android, and Windows Phone via L2TP/IPsec. SoftEther VPN Server serves the SoftEther VPN protocol, but it also serves OpenVPN, Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP), SSL VPN, EtherIP, L2TPv3, and IPsec. SoftEther VPN Client runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. SoftEther VPN Server and VPN Bridge run on Windows, Linux, OS X up to OS X 10.8, FreeBSD, and Solaris operating systems. A server running an SSL website cannot run SoftEther on the same machine, thereby preventing it from using the SSL-VPN tunnel functionality that the software is famous for. The SoftEther VPN Server is unable to bind to specific IP addresses on a machine, negating one of its biggest features. Together, these reduce latency normally associated with VPN connections while increasing throughput. SoftEther VPN optimizes performance by using full Ethernet frame utilization, reducing memory copy operations, parallel transmission, and clustering. Firewalls performing deep packet inspection are unable to detect SoftEther's VPN transport packets as a VPN tunnel because HTTPS is used to camouflage the connection. SoftEther VPN supports NAT traversal, making it useful to run VPN servers on computers that are behind residential gateways, facility routers, and firewalls. The license was switched to Apache License 2.0 on January 21, 2019. It was released using the GPLv2 license on January 4, 2014.
VPN protocols such as SSL VPN, L2TP/IPsec, OpenVPN, and Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol are provided in a single VPN server. SoftEther VPN is free open-source, cross-platform, multi-protocol VPN client and VPN server software, developed as part of Daiyuu Nobori's master's thesis research at the University of Tsukuba.
