If i unckeck that bridge thing, the next button will disable - so the "Remote Access VPN Server" is not installed by default and also not installable (disabled)
Why? And how to solve that?
Thank you very very much for your feedback(s).

Here in that "tutorial" it isn't:
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... VPN_to_LAN
Why that...? OS is Debian 11 64Bit with most current updates as a VirtualBox VM for test purposes.

How can i show that config dialog again? After it was configured once, i can't show it again?
"The first time is that last time" - Or something like that...?

Relax, that config dialog is merely a preset helper, or GUI "wizard", and you can later re-configure everything directly in any way you wish.
That said, if you insist on seeing it yet again, I wrote a script for you...
Code: Select all
Show-GUI-Wizard.bat
-------------------
@echo off
net stop "SoftEther VPN Server"
del /f /q "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\vpn_server.config"
rd /s /q "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\backup.vpn_server.config"
reg delete "HKCU\Software\SoftEther Corporation\PacketiX VPN\Server Manager\Settings" /v Setting1 /f
net start "SoftEther VPN Server"
pause

BUT: How can i do it from begin, so BEFORE it is installed? Do i need so start the installer with a special parameter in cmd.exe? Thanks in advance for your feedback(s) :-)

In that case run this script...
Code: Select all
Show-GUI-Wizard-BEFORE-it-is-installed.bat
------------------------------------------
@echo off
rem net stop "SoftEther VPN Server"
del /f /q "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\vpn_server.config"
rd /s /q "C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Server\backup.vpn_server.config"
reg delete "HKCU\Software\SoftEther Corporation\PacketiX VPN\Server Manager\Settings" /v Setting1 /f
rem net start "SoftEther VPN Server"
pause

Hmmm...
Now i tried it first without "run as admin", then with echo = on and "run as admin"...
Output:

NOTE: I just want to use that tool to administrate the server - because of that my question how to connect to client -> server (not to understand i want to establish a VPN connection, i just want to establish a "configuration connect" (via http or however it works?) - not building a "vpn bridge"...
So:
- The SoftEther VPN server software does run on another server with Debian 11
- I don't want to use the SoftEther VPN client... after the Debian 11 server is correctly configured via 'softether-vpnserver_vpnbridge-v4.38-9760-rtm-2021.08.17-windows-x86_x64-intel' (where i selected "Admin tools" ONLY - no "server", and also no "Client")

Let's recap - the script(s) bring back the "Easy Setup" screen you asked for, before or after installation.
You can not use "that tool to administrate the server" because the "Easy Setup" appears only when all settings are reset or non-existent .
Again, the "Easy Setup" is optional as all settings are still available to you after installation. Finally, you can use SoftEther VPN Server Manager GUI for Windows to remotely configure your Debian 11 server and you do not need the "Easy Setup" there at all.
