Hi everyone
I am using SoftEther to make a VPN network. I installed SoftEther on my computer. My computer uses a proxy server to connect the Internet. My VPN users that connected to SoftEther, They can't connect to the Internet because I didn't have set a proxy server for SoftEther.

How can I tell SoftEther to use a proxy server for connect to the Internet? Did anyone have a solution for my problem? It's a really necessary and I need it.

Thanks for your attention.

Using a network connection which requires using proxy is not a good idea to use it for setting up a VPN Server.

Because a lot of softwares using network do not support proxy. A lot of softwares may not be used.

A temporary solution is to ask the user to configure the proxy by thenselves using the address provided by you. However, the long term solution would be replacing with an internet connection which proxy is not required
