I wonder if the different Built has different functioning? Is there any problem with the Beta and the other one?

Should I remove the beta one with the stable one to fix the problem of the VPN Server didn't release an IP address?

I have the same problem, but not with all client and place.
I own a test environement with 3 ADSL.

The client connected directly to ADSL-3 (no fireall) alway get and IP address, the other 2 that have firewall, casually do not get DHCP, also i i see in firewall log the message ... Offered IP x.x.x.x from a DHCP server.

I think is a firewall problem
Bye

And I dont think it is because of firewall. Firewall has nothing to do here. We are using VPN which means we connect through port 443 or something else the Softether vpn server default set up. In case, the firewall doesn't block the port, we still could connect to it.

The problem here may be because of the configuration of the VPN Server that we don't know.

I have problem connecting from MAC and LINUX too. Anyone has problem connecting from Linux and MAC?

What did you?

Did you create a localbridge?
And, is there a DHCP server on the LAN?

I have the same experience, not always the IP adress is gotten at the first connect, normally disconnect and connect again makes me getting the ip-adress from the lan on which the vpn-server risides.
I am thinking to make a command-script to solve this, since some of my VPN users experience the same problem.
