It’s no secret that various government agencies are trying to weaken or completely unravel the unique privacy VPN tunneling can provide<\/a>. In the past, those agencies have had some success with specific protocols. That is why it’s good to have more protocols on the market offering new security and speed solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the newer VPN protocols showing plenty of promise is SoftEther<\/strong>. You might not have heard about it, as it’s not yet widely supported among VPN clients. We’ll explain everything you need to know to answer the most important question: what is SoftEther? You’ll learn how to use it and how it compares to other protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About SoftEther<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SoftEther is not just a protocol; it’s an entirely free and open-source software package<\/strong>. SoftEther is an open-source and free-to-use VPN protocol that provides quick and secure client-to-server and site-to-site communications. Another part of this software is the VPN bridge that supports the aforementioned types of communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SoftEther project also includes a SoftEther VPN server that allows the usage of several VPN protocols such as OpenVPN<\/a>, SSTP, IPSec, L2TP\/IPSec, and SoftEther itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, the SoftEther VPN project gives users the option to connect to a SoftEther VPN server with or without the SoftEther VPN client software. It also provides users with the ability to set up their servers. Users can move from one protocol to another in a few easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
