      Could we get something like this integrated into Pfsense?

          @craigduff - There is a "Packages Wishlist" thread for those kinds of suggestions.

          If they actually work on FreeBSD, and someone wants to take the time to make a package out of one of them, it may show up.

            You can install it (as I've made) on a Linux server behind pfSense and the result is the same..

              Softether, to me seems like a fix for something thats not broken - openvpn.

              That said, choices are nice.

              As far as ease of use for the end user, if you ship a end user a exported openvpn config file that uses certs only and doesn't ever require a password and they are not smart enough to double click an executable and press a connect button, I'd suggest they aren't smart enough to use any vpn.

                I am one of "the developers" – until the source shows up, it's not an option. When the source shows up, if it's feasible, we'll look at it.

                The source code seems to be available now:

                    That is an interesting solution assuming the code can be trusted (has it been thoroughly looked at yet for security issues after going open source for example).

                    One of the things that held me up using OpenVPN for users (I still use it for admins) is that openvpngui must be run as administrator or the routes needed do not get created when a user authenticates to start the tunnel.Ā  I am waiting for the day that openvpn creates a Windows service in the official installer to handle that for the user to get around that restriction.Ā  Yes you can get around it by making the tunnels not require authentication during startup and have the tunnels start up automatically but I do not like that idea from a security standpoint (which is the whole idea of the solution to begin with).

                      Hi!
                      SoftEther is in freebsd ports
                      https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188437

                      Maybe it's time to look on SoftEther as part of pfSense?

                        I've been using Softether for many years and never had any issues. Would be very nice to add this software to pfsense ;)
