SoftEther VPN User Forum

Hi there,

I have installed SoftEther on a ubuntu 18.04 LTS and when I try to go to the managment line I get the foloowing error message:

Connection to the server failed. Check network connection and make sure that address and port number of destination server are correct.
I have tried to use:
127.0.0.1:5555
localhost:5555
127.0.0.1:443
127.0.0.1:443

empty
all did not work! I dont think that the service is started!

root@vps291807:~# sudo systemctl start vpnserver
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of vpnserver.service changed on disk. Run 'sys temctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
Job for vpnserver.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status vpnserver.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can anyone please help me?

then try ps again

Thanks again for the reply!
