Windows and IPSec academic question

Post by LinU777 » Wed Aug 28, 2019 3:35 pm

Hello.
I have academic question. Before using SoftEther I've tried to configure L2TP/IPSec VPN with xl2tpd and strongSwan. And my problem was that my VPN server was behind NAT, so i had to add registry setting AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule=2 on windows clients to make IPSec connection to work (this is expected behavior for IPSec client and server behind NAT: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... in-windows).
Then I've configured SoftEther L2TP/IPSec on the same server behind NAT and Windows clients started to work without this registry change!
So my question is how this get reached by SoftEther developers?
