What is this IP/MAC that shows up on Wireshark when connected to a SoftEther VPN?
Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2025 8:57 pm
Hello,
I'm using SoftEther on a Windows 10 computer (both client and server). On Wireshark I see these 4 lines repeating:
My question is, who is 172.31.94.206/00:ae:5d:cd:52:d2? I don't have any device with that IP or MAC and "00:ae:5d" is not in the list of MAC registered names. Is this some hard-coded IP/MAC that SoftEther uses?
Thank you for any help!
