No suitable adapter for local bridge

Post by NigelC » Fri Jan 02, 2026 4:17 am

Trying to set up VPN server on Windows 10 PC. I cannot create a local bridge because the VPN manager is reporting "no physical network adapters suitable for Local Bridge were found on the VPN server computer."
The PC definitely has a physical NIC - the Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller that is built into the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus mainboard. However, even when I edit the VPN server config to set ShowAllInterfaces to true, this one still doesn't show up.
Anybody know what's going on?

Thanks for your help solo.

I managed to resolve the issue.

For some reason, the SoftEther Lightweight Newtork Protocol was enabled on all adapters except the ethernet adapter. Once I enabled it I was able to use it to create a local bridge.
