VPN Client Question

Post by gavstah » Sun Jun 28, 2015 4:54 pm

Hi all -

Looking for an answer to a simple question. See screenshot.

http://screencast.com/t/9ixWnIFOt28h

Is this windows vpn client open source? If so, what/where is the link to the source?

I tried downloading the source from github and loading it in Visual Studio - but the only reference to a client in that source is a single page on a project - a whole lot seems to be missing.

Please advise.

SoftEther VPN code on GitHub includes client and server.
Why do you think there isn't server code in the project?

Hi There -

Thanks for getting back to me.

You have my question backwards. I know that the server is included - what I'm looking for is the source code to the windows VPN GUI client that users can use to establish a VPN connection to a softether server.

See this screenshot for clarification:

I downloaded the source code for Softether from GitHub and opened it in Visual Studio Express, but did not find any code for the above.

Yours sincerely,

Gavin

The windows GUI ___ IS NOT ____ the SoftEther client.

It is "just" a GUI which must programatically drives the "vpncmd" program which itself drives the vpnserver and vpnclient services.

inside the vpnclient folder, there are just some wrappers for the "whole lot" part
which is inside Cedar/ and Mayaqua/ (and probably the others directories too)

Hi There -

Ok, thanks for the clarification - this begs the question - is the "GUI" open source, and if so, where are the source files?
