SoftEther VPN Project develops and distributes SoftEther VPN, a free open source program for multiple open source VPNs. It is an academic project from the University of Tsukuba, and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 License.
What is SoftEther VPN?
SoftEther VPN ("SoftEther" stands for "Ethernet Software") is one of the most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software in the world. Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris.
It is open source, so you can use it for personal or commercial use, free of charge.
It has an OpenVPN Server cloning feature, but it is faster than OpenVPN. It also supports Microsoft SSTP VPN for Windows Vista / 7/8, so you do not have to pay dearly for a Windows Server license that gives you remote access VPN functionality.
The software can also be used to implement BYOD (Bring your own device) by businesses. If you have smartphones, tablets or laptops, SoftEther VPN's L2TP/IPsec server function will help you create a remote access VPN from your local network. SoftEther's L2TP VPN Server is compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS and Android operating systems.
Free SoftEther VPN is not only an alternative VPN server to existing VPN products (OpenVPN, IPsec and MS-SSTP), but also has an original strong SSL-VPN protocol so you can pass through any kind of firewall. SoftEther VPN's highly optimized SSL-VPN protocol has very fast performance, low latency and wall resistance protections.
VPN free and reliable services for everyone
The built-in NAT Transmitter traverses every annoying firewall of your network administrator.
You can set up your own VPN server behind your company firewall or NAT, and you can access that VPN server on the corporate private network from home or your mobile phone without changing the firewall settings.
Anyone firewalls they cannot detect SoftEther VPN transport packets as a VPN because it uses Ethernet over HTTPS for camouflage.
SoftEther VPN is free software because it was developed as research Daiyuu Nobori's Master Thesis at the University of Tsukuba in Japan.
