Hi black.exige,

SecureNAT can't has access to real netcards.

There some solutions:
0. Delete your added routings.
1. Connect from server to server with native Softether client (localhost) - you will give address from 192.168.30.0/24 and will able to ping clients. Don't forget decrease metric on client netcard in order to avoid rewriting default route.
2. You can add additional address from 192.168.30.0/24 to net card from LocalBridge. So you net card will have two addresses: 192.168.0.12 and 192.168.30.? You will able to ping clients.

First solution is better. I use it on my server.

Check your Windows Firewall settings. In the default settings, Windows doesn't response to Pings.

Go to the advanced firewall settings, create a new inbound rule. Select "Custum rule", all Programs, Protocoll ICMPv4, go to ICMP-Settings and activate "Echorequest" (the correct english name may be a bit different. I havn't a english windows version). Save and Exit.

If you have IPv6 enabled, repeat the steps with ICMPv6.

Do you use virtual NAT function?
If so, ping from outside of NAT can't go through NAT.
