How to Install SoftEther VPN on Manjaro/Arch Based Linux

This tutorial only tested on Manjaro Linux.

1. First download SoftEther VPN Linux Client.
2. Extract the tar.gz file.
3. cd to that extracted folder.
4. run this command make
5. It will ask for license aggrement and you have to agree to that license prompt otherwise it will not install.

2. How to Start SoftEther VPN

3. How to Enter SoftEther Command Prompt

Specify the host name or IP address of the computer that the destination VPN Client is operating on. If nothing is input and Enter is pressed, connection will be made to localhost (this computer). Hostname of IP Address of Destination:

• First run cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to check if IP Forwarding is enabled. If ‘0’ is returned then run the next command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  (You may need to sudo su to perform some of the next commands)
• Run dhclient vpn_YouVpnName for my case dhclient vpn_bcc to obtain an IP address from the VPN DHCP server
• Run this command

sudo ip route add vpn_server_address/32 via 192.168.0.1 Example: sudo ip route add 123.45.67.789/32 via 192.168.0.1 

sudo ip route del default via 192.168.0.1 

8. Disconnect from VPN and restore route table

sudo ip route del vpn_server_address/32 Example: sudo ip route del 123.45.67.789/32 

sudo ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Installing and Using a SoftEther VPN Client on a Linux Operating Systems

Before downloading the software, a suitable directory needs to be chosen. It is recommendable for the software to be installed in the home directory or at /usr/local/ .

To download the latest version, use the following command:

wget https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN_Stable/releases/download/v4.38-9760-rtm/softether-vpnclient-v4.38-9760-rtm-2021.08.17-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz 

To decompress the compressed file, use the following command:

sudo tar zxf softether-vpnclient-v4.38-9760-rtm-2021.08.17-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz 

To change the path in the directory containing the decompressed software, use the following command:

To build from the source code, use the following command:

Accept the software’s terms of use by selecting the option labelled 1. Yes or 1. Agree under the question.

For increased security of the VPN client settings, we recommend changing the privileges using the following commands:

chmod -R 600 * chmod 700 vpncmd chmod 700 vpnclient cd .. sudo chown -R root.root vpnclient/ 

If the user is logged in with and using a different user profile and group, root.root from the last line can be replaced accordingly.

Launch the VPN client using the following command:

Configuring a SoftEther VPN Client

To configure a SoftEther VPN client, use the built-in vpncmd command.

Execute the following command to configure the VPN client:

Select the option labelled 2. Management of VPN Client, leave the field about connecting to the local VPN client blank, and press Enter.

The configuration of the VPN client involves the following steps:

• Creating a virtual adapter: NicCreate , for example «vpn-se».
• Creating a new VPN connection: AccountCreate , for example «neoCloud».
• Setting parameters for the VPN server in the field named Destination VPN Server Host Name and Port Number , for example «95.180.141.29:443».
• Entering a name for a Virtual Hub on the VPN server in the field named Destination Virtual Hub Name , where the predefined Virtual Hub in the template is named VPN.
• Entering a user name in the field named Connection User Name , for example «user1».
• Entering a virtual adapter to be used for the VPN connection in the field named Used Virtual Network Adapter Name , for example «vpn-se».
• Creating a password for the VPN connection: AccountPassword .
• Choosing a VPN connection for which the password is to be used, for example «neoCloud».
• Subsequently, the password will need to be entered and confirmed.
• Choosing an authentication type in the Specify standard or radius field. Specify «standard» here.

Alternatively, the same process can be performed with fewer commands provided that all the parameters are set beforehand:

NicCreate adapter name> AccountCreate connection name> /SERVER:hostname>:port> /HUB:hubname> /USERNAME:username> /NICNAME:nicname> AccountPasswordSet connection name> /PASSWORD:password> /TYPE:standard 

To check a created connection, use the following command:

To connect to a VPN connection, use the following command:

AccountConnect connection name> 

To automatically establish a connection, use the following command:

AccountStartupSet connection name> 

The exit command is used to exit the VPN client settings.

Before network communication can be established, the user must check if «ip forward» has been enabled in the operating system, using the following command:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 

If the output is 1, the next step can be skipped. If the output is 0, «ip forward» needs to be enabled by making changes in the file named /etc/sysctl.conf .

In the aforementioned file, enter the text or remove the comment from the following line:

Afterwards, save the file using the :wq command and check whether the parameter has been successfully set using the sysctl -p command.

The following command activates the DHCP client to obtain the IP address of the virtual network adapter:

To check the obtained IP address and for route assignment (if it is configured on the VPN server), use the ip a and ip route commands.

Connecting using SoftEther VPN Client

Each time the computer/server on which the VPN client is installed is started, the following commands need to be executed for the establishment of a VPN connection:

sudo ./vpnclient start sudo ./vpncmd AccountConnect connection name> exit sudo dhclient name> 

The part relevant to connecting to the local VPN client after executing vpncmd , explained above, has been omitted from these commands.

If automatic establishment of the connection through the command AccountStartupSet has already been configured, only the following two commands need to be executed:

sudo ./vpnclient start sudo dhclient name> 

Terminating a VPN Connection

A VPN connection can be terminated in two ways:

• Stopping the VPN client by executing the sudo ./vpnclient stop command.
• Connecting to the local VPN client by using the sudo ./vpncmd command and then executing AccountDisconnect .

Upgrading a SoftEther VPN Client

An upgrade of a SoftEther VPN client is performed in much the same way as the installation process. The user needs to choose whether the new version is to be installed on a new path or on the same one. In either upgrade scenario, the vpn-client.conf file needs to be saved and then transferred onto the path of the new version of the client.
