In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install SoftEther VPN on OpenBSD. SoftEther is a powerful and easy-to-use VPN software that allows you to connect to multiple VPN protocols with ease. OpenBSD is a free and secure operating system that is widely used in the IT industry.
Before we begin, we need to ensure that our OpenBSD machine meets the following prerequisites:
Download SoftEther VPN Server software package from https://www.softether.org/ to your OpenBSD server.
Use the following command to extract the downloaded file:
tar -xzvf softether-vpnserver-v4.x.x-xxxxx-OpenBSD-x64-64bit.tar.gz
Note: Replace v4.x.x-xxxxx with the version and build number of the SoftEther server package that you downloaded.
Change the directory to the extracted folder using the following command:
cd vpnserver
Run make command to build SoftEther server:
make
Start the SoftEther VPN Server by running the vpnserver command:
./vpnserver start
Once started, configure the SoftEther VPN server by navigating to the server management interface using a web browser. Enter the following address in your web browser:
https://<your server IP address>:8888/
Note: Replace <your server IP address> with the IP address of your OpenBSD server.
When prompted, enter the default username and password:
Default Username: admin
Default Password: empty (press Enter)
From the management interface, you can then configure the SoftEther VPN server as per your requirements.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SoftEther VPN Server on OpenBSD.
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!
