SoftEther VPN User Forum

The vpn.packetix.net:443 virtual hub seems 1000 times powerful than vpnazure.net!!!!!

So how actually vpn.packetix.net:443 works? Basically unbelievably easy

1.It runs on a japan-pysically hosted networking server,which is responsible for maintaining the operation of public access vpn.packetix.net:443 and security patching on behalf of the end user(even the virtual hub user cannot perform operation maintence to the virtual hub (vpn.packetix.net:443)!!!

2.If you own a self hosted cloud-VPS or just a regular PC you can perform administrative tasks on it,and you have the ability to host a softether vpn bridge role running on it ,then you configure the vpn bridge to Layer-2 bridge the vpn.packetix.net:443 virtual hub with your own configured user details,please also note you handle the DHCP on/off parameters based on your need,there's no single correct answer on whether the switch should turned ON/OFF on virtual DHCP / NAT function settings

3.As 1.mentioned,the vpn.packetix.net:443 is maintained by japan hosted networking infrastructure,you don't actually own/operate/run/maintain this virtual hub locally/inside your vps,you can assume as long as there's internet access inside the VPS/inside your work PC,then the IP address of the virtual hub would just works as it suggests(whether the firewall will block the vpn.packetix.net:443 ip addres is another topic,and in this thread it's an off topic)

It runs on a japan-pysically hosted networking server,which is responsible for maintaining the operation of public access vpn.packetix.net:443 and security patching on behalf of the end user...

My packetix hub reports the outdated server "Version 4.41 Build 9782" and the weakest "Encryption Algorithm RC4-MD5" which can not be changed because, as you say "security patching on behalf of the end user".

Cascading to this hub is perfectly OK for JP users but for the rest of the world it results in unbearably high latency, just as bad as to VPN Azure. That's why PacketiX.NET calls itself VPN Online Test Environment, not a VPN production environment.

As for "1000 times powerful", note that VPN Azure powers SSTP while PacketiX.NET does not.

As the name implies the internet is for EVERYONE as long as there's TCP/IP connectivity,of course such a academic makes people in japan very happy,but for now in my local country people also finds this academic experiment is a must have,we have a very poor NAT router in local country,such router denies ALL UDP random port connections,but however the firewall do not blacklist vpn.packetix.net:443 at all

Even if i've already asked the question in the japanese forum on www.vpnusers.com written in japanese,https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=69882 , i know that vpn.packetix.net:443 do not accept SSTP requests,however softether vpn server do accept softether and sstp request together

What's the real point i want to state about in this post is,the packetix.net provide the infrastructure that the virtual hub runs on,also assuming it's on a 100GBPS link,no matter where you connect it from,vpngate.net website also cites it's main directory servers are hosted in japan,but in my local country it just works,the most important part is the local ISP firewall don't block access to vpn.packetix.net:443 and that would be ok in most cases

In my local country,i do this research experiment everyday,and do find many valueable clues on how actually everything softether works and what it have already been offered to the public,fantastic！

As this thread says,it'll be better if there's another vpn.packetix.net:443 mirror virtual hub public server located in near user's local country location
