Listen IP

Post by GerryB » Mon Apr 25, 2016 1:36 am

Did listen IP option ever get added to the config file options?

I cannot see where such an option would go or do I know the syntax.

My server has two IPs and I want it to listen to 443 on one IP (which has no webserver) or even set the whole softethervpn server only to listen to one IP.

Currently Softethervpn listens to the whole interface, so it sees 443 as in use, which of course it is on the other IP for https.

I could achieve something similar by port redirection, but it seems strange that there is no option to define listen IP. its seems rather fundamental.

Am I missing something?

No answer yet. Surely others want softhervpn to use/listen to one IP address, and not listen to the whole ethernet interface?

It strikes me to be an important function that is currently missing.

Thanks for the link

I assume the syntax is
ListenIP 1.2.4.4 anywhere in the config file

Would that determine the EXIT IP as well?

I will play later. This is a feature need to be on the main menu one day.

I didn't try it. I think so too.

It depends on OS.
