How to access and configure SoftEther Server on AWS

Post by ouki » Mon Nov 19, 2018 1:13 am

I used the AWS marketplace SoftEther VPN server image and stood up a server with all default settings.
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B06WP3GT58

When I'm trying to connect to the VPN server using SoftEther VPN Server Manager, it says "connection to server failed"...

I could access the public IP over 443. It shows Forbidden.

I'm running the Manager on my Mac laptop. Here is the configuration. Per AWS marketplace, I used the EC2 instance ID as admin password.

I've tried everything and I could not connect to the VPN server. What am I missing?

I suspect your PC personal firewall blocks the VPN Server Manager communication.
