[halloamt]

Hi,

we are a supplier of renewable energy in Germany (EWS). Thanks to this project we had the possibility to have our coworkers easily work from home. Without it we would either have to purchase licenses for VPN with our firewall or to use complicated to configure software.
I just wanted to give you a big thank you for SoftEther.

Greetings from the Black Forest an dkeep up the great work,

Hallo Amt

If you wish to make it better, you are welcome to contribute

Hi,

That's awesome!

We're very pleased to hear that, this is the kind of feedback that gives us a huge motivation to keep developing the software.

Hopefully the measures governments are taking will be enough to stop the virus.

Thank you again!

[davidebeatrici]

I pinned the issue because we would like to collect feedback from people who are using SoftEther VPN for the same reason in a single place.

Also my current company uses SoftEther to help WFH. This is the reason why I contribute.

I've adjusted project tags, now they include "wfh" and "work-from-home"

[halloamt]

Thanks, I'd love to contribute and will try to learn C/C++ but at the moment we are trying to work from home and keep things running.

Please keep up your great work!
@halloamt all the Best to you from Thuringia!

Excellent project. I use it to replace sites that previously used port forwarding of RDP on broadband routers to Windows servers running Pastel account software.
Softether is significantly more secure.

We are using it for no longer having LAN Partys but doing WAN/VPN Partys! Keep up the great work!

We are also using softether vpn with sstp. We must not install a extra vpn clients on the private clients.

We have more than 30 people that using Softether from time to time.

keep rocking this project

I'd like to add my gratitude to this project. We've been using Softethervpn for almost 2 years. I'm a network engineer with experience of architecture and security. I've taken this project and expanded its use cases into some extremely interesting and reliable networks.
We've gone to the extremes of building the package in our CI/CD for the latest stable releases

I've utilised softethervpn in the following ways.

1. Remote vpn for over 400 devices, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android, Windows.
2. Providing role based access to users
3. Providing cascades to multiple locations, offices, datacentres and public clouds in Which clients can access everywhere needed, high availability using 2 vpn bridges with keepalived.
4. Created a layer 2 overlay network between locations running bgp unnumbered neighbours across a multilink equal cost multipath network with FRR.

I have a few areas that I can see improvements and tweaks but it's a fantastic Swiss army knife, capable of more than just a remote vpn in the right hand.

Keep up the fantastic work guys.

@dyemi511 that's very good to hear. Seems like a very solid use of what layer 2 networking can offer. Could you please share your CI/CDs here? Perhaps something that the whole SoftEther community can benefit from? I can help setting them up here on Github with Actions.

Edit
Noticed that there are CI setup already on this repo.

I use softether for years, reason is ease of use and extreme flexibility. There's no other VPN service that give this amount of control, and the users ACL for groups etc. Works exactly like how I thought it would!

I didn't have to spend a lot of time learning softether. It was intuitive.

I still don't know exactly how openvpn works, even though I have read lots and managed to get it working once.

Softether is just amazing!

[djwdjwdjwdjw]

I would like to echo the comments above. I have been using Softether for maybe 3 years for remote workers and it indeed works great after you get everything set-up. Much more intuitive than anything else I have tried. It is indeed amazing.

The only additional thing on my wish list is implementing either a multi-factor authentication mechanism using either sms or a code generator like authy.
