On each site SoftEther VPN can define a, and connect between the Virtual Hub and the physical Ethernet segment with. To exploit this mechanism you can bind two or more remote-distributed physical Ethernet segments to the single united Ethernet segment.It is something like a very-long distance Ethernet cable across the state.
However building and keeping a distance Ethernet cable needs ultra-expensive initial and monthly costs. Unlike it, SoftEther VPN's virtual network cable needs no additional costs to the usual and cheap Internet connections to local ISPs on each branches.

Configuring a Windows OpenVPN client or server. Set the protocol to UDP or TCP. Mssfix sets the maximum size of the packet. Set log file verbosity level. Log verbosity level can be set from 0 (minimum) to 15 (maximum). Select ‘dev tun’ to create a routed IP tunnel or ‘dev tap’ to create an ethernet tunnel. I have configured OpenVPN on my Linux server and Windows client according to the instructions here. My client can access the server, but can't get any further onto the LAN. My Server is 10.23.29.64/24, my OpenVPN subnet is 10.23.30.0/24 and my client is 10.0.0.71/24 so there is no overlap.
1.IntroductionMany routers now come with an integrated server to provide secure remote access to both router storage and LAN devices. We haven't been testing VPN performance in our reviews because, frankly, I dread messing with VPN. I usually get it working eventually, but typically burn a day in the trial-and-error process that is inevitably required.So in the interest of saving you a day, I am doing a few articles that present both VPN performance test results and step-by-step setup instructions for getting a working OpenVPN tunnel between a Windows client and the router. This tunnel will support connection both to the router's shared storage and to client devices on the router LAN.Since ASUS was the first to integrate OpenVPN, I'll start with them. SetupMy test setup used Win 7 and Win 8.1 computers.
Windows 7: Lenovo X220i (Intel Core i3-2310M @ 2.1 GHz, 2 GB RAM) running Win 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit. Windows 8.1: Acer AspireS7 (Intel Core i5-4200U @ 2.3 GHz, 8 GB RAM) running Win 8.1 64 bitTo eliminate internet connection variation, I used the test setup shown below. Note that the two computers are on different private subnets.OpenVPN test setup Steps. 1) Check your sharesBefore you start messing with VPN, you first need to check that your OS sharing permissions are properly set so that shares can be reached among LAN machines on both networks. This sometimes is tricky when mixing Win 7 and 8 devices.I don't use Windows Homegroups, don't use password protected sharing and don't use Guest accounts. So in Win 8, disabling password protected sharing ( Network and Sharing Center Advanced Sharing Settings All Networks) and adding access for Everyone in the share's security properties usually does the trick.2) Configure your firewallOS and anti-virus suite application firewalls are another thing that can mess you up.
If you run one, you've probably already figured out the settings to not block file sharing traffic. Buf if you have any problems pinging a share across the VPN tunnel, temporarily disable the firewall to see if that's the problem.3) Install the OpenVPN clientASUS provides links for downloading Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android OpenVPN clients on the VPN Server tab as shown below. Each link takes you to an ASUS FAQ page that includes a downlink link for the proper app and instructions for installing and configuring it.ASUS VPN Server tab.
The links to the that has only Windows clients. The links to the for Mac OS X. The tells you to search the App Store, which should turn up this. The tells you to search Google Play, which should turn up app.This provides a pretty accurate description of the Windows installation process. Don't bother to launch the app after you install it. It won't do much until you install an OpenVPN config file.4) Create User(s)Create users on the VPN Server General settings page in the Username and Password section as shown below.
Please use a stronger password than the one I used. Your connection security depends on it! Be sure to Apply the settings.ASUS VPN Create user.
