Receiving Auth failed in openvpn when more than 40 users connect to hub
Hello.
Securenat and its dhcp server doesn't seem to work properly when a large number of users connect. The user receives and auth failed, but will connect if tries for multiple times. This gets worse as the number of sessions in the hub increases. Any idea what goes wrong and how to fix this?

We are seeing something similar and from my research it seems that Softether sets OpenVPN to use "net30". This topology only allows a maximum of 63 users. After 63 OpenVPN users connect the rest will receive errors and not connect due to not having enough IP addresses. "net30" uses 4 IP addresses for each connected session.
We need Softether updated to a newer Version of OpenVPN that supports "subnet" as a topology. They would then need to create a checkbox or some way to choose the topology that you want OpenVPN to use.
Hopefully, this is something that they have already decided to do, but not in the version I have tested so far. Not sure how to submit a "new feature" request with Softether.

Secure NAT is enabled?
Cascade Connection is used?
have you tried the local_bridge mode?

No one can be Stable version, other one can be DE version
Q.2
On the one you need it for CC, do not enable SecureNAT
One the one you use as endpoint (or Edge or hop-2) enable SecureNAT
Architecture
client ===== > hop-1 (CC, disable SecureNat) =====> hop-2 (endpoint, enable SecureNAT)
