SoftEther is a powerful and flexible VPN software that enables you to create secure and fast VPN connections. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SoftEther on Debian Latest.
To install SoftEther on Debian Latest, you will need the following:
Before installing SoftEther, you need to update the system to ensure all packages are up to date. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, download the SoftEther package from the official website. You can use the following wget command to download the package:
wget https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN_Stable/releases/download/v4.34-9745-beta/softether-vpnserver-v4.34-9745-beta-2021.09.19-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz
Note: replace the version and release date with the latest available on the SoftEther website.
After downloading the package, extract it using the following command:
tar xzvf softether-vpnserver-*.tar.gz
Next, switch to the extracted directory and compile SoftEther using the following command:
cd vpnserver
make
The make command may take some time to complete.
Once the compilation is complete, you can install SoftEther using the following command:
./vpnserver start
This command will start the VPN server daemon. SoftEther will prompt you to accept the license agreement. Type "1" to accept the agreement.
Now that SoftEther is installed and running, you can connect to it using the SoftEther VPN client. Download and install the client from the official website.
Once you have installed the client, launch it and click on the "New VPN Connection Setting" button. Enter a name for the connection and specify the IP address or hostname of your SoftEther server.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SoftEther on Debian Latest and connected to it using a VPN client.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
