SoftEther VPN User Forum

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue where packets aren't getting to the vpn server after the vpn is connected.

The client (windows 10) connects to the vpn server (windows 10), and receives an ip address. The client can connect to any device on the remote network. When attempting a connection (EX. VNC) to the vpn server the connection is inititally successful, but will drop after a few minutes. After the connection drops, vnc will not reconnect until the vpnclient is disconnected and reconnected.

I have verified with wireshark (running on both the vpn interface and the ethernet interface) that no packets will pass between the client and the server on the vnc port after the connection drops.

Any help is appreciated.

A little more info:

This is the wireshark output from the client side on VNC connection:

1 0.000000 00:ac:1b:e9:08:0d Broadcast ARP 42 Who has 10.222.112.245? Tell 10.222.112.2

Tracert from server to client succeeds

Tracert from client to server fails (attempts to lookup via 192.168.0.1 gateway)

I ran "route add 10.222.112.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.222.112.1"

Fingers crossed - the connections are stable and not dropping

Shouldn't softether take care of this route on vpn connection?

I have no adjustments to routing table setting unchecked

I could just run a route add -p command, but I would prefer to find out which setting is wrong in softether, as I don't want to have to do this manually on each new vpn client device.

Your "route add" doesn't make sense.
I think the VPN connection is unstable.
Could you check the VPN server log?

If you use UDP acceleration mode, please try to disable it.
