"SoftEther VPN Server supports only password authentication for the OpenVPN protocol."

Is it me... or is SoftEther advertised as a capable OPENVPN server??? No where in their literature do they mention that their OpenVpn implementation is limited to password authentication. For three days, I've been pulling my hair out with signing certificates to use with SoftEther, and my OpenVpn client. I can't believe this bullsh*t.

Sorry SoftEther, if you cannot handle signed / individual certificate authorization from an OpenVpn client, YOU ARE NOT AN OPENVPN SERVER!!!! I mean, what the F is password authorization??? it's a joke.

PLEASE REMOVE OPENVPN from your description and just stick to L2TP.

- I appreciate the free part of this software, and appreciate the authors involved and their efforts. But come on man, don't mislead the public into thinking something that you're not.
