Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
You both do not specify why a LT2P connection does not work ?

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
Of course you need to connect to a server which supports L2TP

Of course i connect to L2TP server
It work well if i connect from pc but cannot connect from android vpn
That is why i ask for softether vpn client on android play store
For example droidvpn on play store
But unfortunately i only have softether account
I hope softether provide us an android application vpn client

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
As an alternative you could try to use openvpn, for which a android client is available. But be warned, setting up openvnp is more complicated then L2TP.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
I have not tried it with softether, but I did without it. It was a lots of fun messing with all those certificates. I am still amazed I did get it working.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
both l2tp and openvpn work on android, provided that i connect to a server with public ip. yet, i was unable to connect android device to softether server located behind nat (i successfully connected my laptop to this server)

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
Of cause you have to open ports in you're router if you're server is behind nat, and also firewall. For l2tp this is well documented, for openvpn it depends.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
what i meant was that i had successfully connected my laptop (softether client for windows x64) to softether server (linux x64) located behind nat without opening any ports.
i have no luck with android - not surprisingly, as bothi2tp and openvpn require publicly accessible ports.
i believe porting softether client to android would solve this issue

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
If you emulate OpenVPN in SoftEther you can use the OpenVPN Connect application from Play Store. All you need to do is export the configurations and move them to your phone.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
Nice, but openvpn does not fulfill his requirement that the vpn connection should be able to travers NAT routing without any configuration. Which is an option the softether vpn client (in combination with the server) has.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
I also am unable to use the L2TP function on a HTC One GE phone. I can run a hotspot and through the Softether VPN client and it works fine so I know the server is set up properly and the Username and password work as well as the data being transmitted over the carrier. The only thing that does not work for me is the Android default vpn software. This also is the same for my iPhone which is unable to connect. I can just create a simple pptp VPN through windows and that connects just fine.

Unfortunately, L2TP client isn't firewall-friendly 8-(

I'm not exactly wrote, problem not in my personal firewalls, but in thousand's typical FW in hotels.
Many firewalls in hotels and airports permit only tcp/80 and tcp/443 ports, often with proxy.
Without proxy will work only OpenVPN tcp/443 and SSTP/443 (MS SSL VPN), with proxy - only SSTP/443.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
I also have issues with Android and connecting. I have forward ports 500 and 4500 to my Softether VPN server and no luck. I also tried 1701 both UDP and TCP but that didnt help either (from what I have read it isnt necessary anyways). If I am in my wireless network at home and try to connect via the private address (192.168.x.x) it connects so I know the username/passwords and server is set correctly. But when I try to connect using either the WAN ip (which is dynamic) or the DDNS name it will not connect. Any other ports need to be forward?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
Hi willrsnds!
For L2TP/IPSEC you need make port forwarding: tcp: 1701, udp: 1701, 500, 4500.
All these together.

Re: SoftEther VPN for Android
Thanks UkrZilla, but I do have those ports forward and still can't connect. Any other ideas?
