Issue with SoftEther VPN Server Manager on macOS Big Sur

Post by HelloVPN » Tue Jun 23, 2026 12:30 am

Hi,
I downloaded and installed SoftEther VPN Server Manager for Mac OS X (Ver 4.21, Build 9613, beta) on my Mac, but the application does not open after installation.
My system details:
macOS: Big Sur (Version 11.7.11)
Mac: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor: 2.4 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
Memory: 8 GB

I have tried right-clicking and selecting "Open" to bypass the security warning, but the app still fails to launch. I suspect it may be related to 32-bit compatibility, as macOS Big Sur no longer supports 32-bit applications.

Could you please advise if there is a newer version available that supports macOS Big Sur, or if there is any workaround to get this version running?

Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate your help.

Best regards,

HelloVPN

Looking for a complete 0 to 100 SoftEther fuide

Hello all,

Complete beginner here. I'm looking for a single resource that teaches SoftEther VPN from absolute zero to advanced, covering both client AND server setup, not just the basics.
I prefer video, but open to text guides too.
Does anyone know of: A YouTube playlist/series, A Udemy course
Or any comprehensive video tutorial?

That truly covers everything for an amateur? Willing to pay for a good course.

Thank you.

Alternatively, install "macOS / Intel hosts" https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
In the VM install Windows SoftEther client or server and follow https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howto

I'm on the hunt for one complete resource—whether it's a course, tutorial series, or guide—that takes me from total beginner to advanced level with SoftEther VPN. It needs to cover both client and server configuration in depth, not just the usual surface-level stuff.

Video format would be ideal, but honestly, I'll take anything comprehensive at this point.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate the help!
