SoftEther VPN Client

Hello,

Do you know if they provide an API, SDK or Command-Line?

Hello,

On the website of Softether they have some API functionality, maybe it can help to make the connection with RDM.

Hello,
Unfortunately we don't have enough information to create an add-on. We would need a CLI or an executable with some parameters.

Hello David,

The easiest way to get SoftEther working is to set it up as a "Custom VPN"
the command line tool will allow you to connect to your pre-defined connections.

In SoftEther VPN Client Manager, "Add VPN Connection" fill out all the data and test your connections.


In RDM create a Custom VPN Session

HOST: localhost
Executable: C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Client\vpncmd.exe
Opening Arguments: /CLIENT localhost /CMD AccountConnect <SOME_VPN_CONNECTION_NAME>
Closing Arguments: /CLIENT localhost /CMD AccountDisconnect <SOME_VPN_CONNECTION_NAME>
Wait Interval: 10 sec



That should get you running.

Based on your configs your command will look like this:

to Connect:
C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Client\vpncmd.exe /CLIENT localhost /CMD AccountConnect Unitron


to DisConnect:
C:\Program Files\SoftEther VPN Client\vpncmd.exe /CLIENT localhost /CMD AccountDisconnect Unitron

@Thomas,

Thank you very much for your feedback. This is really appreciated.

Hope this will help other users in our community.

Best regards,

Would be nice feature if the "Custom" VPN connection would actually show a green dot next to the element name to let us know its connected.

Hi, have this working great.

i have created a VPN connector, how to i make the RDP connection connect VIA this connection?

i know i can hard code it in the session but if i have 100 servers i want them to inherit this connection.
Cheers James.

Hello,

If your sessions are all under the same folder, you can edit your RDP sessions, go in the VPN section and select Inherited in the Open dropdown.

At the folder level, in the VPN section, in the General tab, select Session in the Type dropdown


Then, go in the Settings tab and select your VPN entry


This can also be done individually per session if you would like.

Best regards,

Thats it !!!!

Thank you :)

Hi all,

is there a was to use a variable in den argument Section. We using Softether VPN aus descriped above and it works fine. But it will be a nice feature to use Variables.

Please have a look of the sceeenshot example attached. There is an existing Connection "Test" on Softether VPN Cient and i need to use the Connection name "test" as a variable. When it works a second step is using a variable from a parent object, because we are using multiple RDP connections for one customer with the same VPN connection name.

Hello,

I hope I understand it right - you want to use the "Host" (Test) as variable for all RDP sessions from one specific customer?

If so, I suggest the following procedure:

• Configure a separate VPN entry and set all the required parameters
• link the VPN entry at folder level (or, if you prefer) on session level - like Jeff's instruction
• now it is possible to use on every RDP session the variable $VPN_HOST$

Is this what you're looking for?

Regards,
Min
