How to Set up SoftEther VPN Client on Linux

In this tutorial we will show you how to set up SoftEther VPN Client on Linux but first let’s see what are our requirements and recommendations.

Requirements

In order to set up the SoftEther you will need:

1. A CactusVPN account. If you don’t have one you can try our services for free.
2. Your VPN username, password and VPN server address. You can find them in your account on our website, by going to Settings.

Recommendations

• This tutorial requires advanced Linux knowledge. There is a potential risk to break your Internet connection if you don’t follow all steps exactly. You can always set up VPN on Linux using other VPN protocols that are easier to set up.
• Connect to SoftEther VPN protocol on Linux only if you have experience with the configuration of Linux applications and are familiar with reading / modifying IP routing tables.

If you still want to set up SoftEther VPN on Linux, go step-by-step through following instructions:

Part I. Install SoftEther VPN client

We’ll show you how to install the SoftEther VPN client on Linux.

You can do this in two ways: from package manager on Ubuntu or other Debian Derivates [x86_64 or AMD 64 machines] and from source on Linux distributives.

Choose the way you want to use from the menu below and follow its steps.

apt update && apt -y full-upgrade

sudo echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repository.cactusvpn.com/softether/ amd64/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cactusvpn.list

sudo apt install -y softethervpn-stable

apt update && apt -y full-upgrade

wget http://www.softether-download.com/files/softether/v4.27-9668-beta-2018.05.29- tree/Linux/SoftEther_VPN_Client/64bit_-_Intel_x64_or_AMD64/softether-vpnclient-v4.27-9668- beta-2018.05.29-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz

tar xzfv softether-vpnclient-v4.27-9668-beta-2018.05.29-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz

apt -y install build-essential

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

cd .. && mv vpnclient /usr/ && cd /usr/vpnclient/

Part II. Configure SoftEther VPN client

sudo /usr/vpnclient/vpnclient start

AccountPassword cactusvpn

apt update && apt -y full-upgrade

sudo echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repository.cactusvpn.com/softether/ amd64/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cactusvpn.list

sudo apt install -y softethervpn-stable

apt update && apt -y full-upgrade

wget http://www.softether-download.com/files/softether/v4.27-9668-beta-2018.05.29- tree/Linux/SoftEther_VPN_Client/64bit_-_Intel_x64_or_AMD64/softether-vpnclient-v4.27-9668- beta-2018.05.29-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz

tar xzfv softether-vpnclient-v4.27-9668-beta-2018.05.29-linux-x64-64bit.tar.gz

apt -y install build-essential

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

cd .. && mv vpnclient /usr/ && cd /usr/vpnclient/

sudo /usr/vpnclient/vpnclient start

AccountPassword cactusvpn

Part III. IP and routing table

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

If you get 1 you can skip this step and go to the Obtain an IP address from the VPN server step. If you have 0, please enable IP forward:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

echo net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 >> /etc/sysctl.conf && sysctl -p

and you’ll see the virtual network vpn_vpn_se created with SoftEther VPN client tool. To get an IP address from the VPN server:

After a few moments you should get an IP address from the 10.6.0.0/24 network.
Edit the routing table:

to see the current routing table. Yours should be similar to this:
Add a route to the VPN server’s IP address via your old default route. In my specific case:

sudo ip route add 93.115.92.240/32 via 192.168.0.1

sudo ip route del default via 192.168.0.1

After these updates, the routing table should look like this:
Ping any IP address to check your network connection:

wget -qO- http://ipecho.net/plain ; echo

If you see the VPN server’s IP, everything was set up correctly and your Linux is connected to the VPN via SoftEther VPN client. If the ping to the 8.8.8.8 is OK but you can not retrieve anything else by public hostname, add Google DNS (or any Public DNS server) to your /etc/resolv.conf file:

sudo echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf

Part IV. Disconnect from VPN

To turn the VPN connection OFF you need to close SoftEther VPN Client manager and edit the routing table to get the access to the Internet via your router’s gateway.

To disconnect from VPN simply turn OFF the SoftEther VPN Client manager:

sudo /usr/vpnclient/vpnclient stop

sudo ip route del 93.115.92.240/32

sudo ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
