Now change the permission for the startup script and start vpnserver using command below: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vpnserver & /etc/init.d/vpnserver start We have to make a directory at /var/lock/subsys if one does not exist: mkdir /var/lock/subsys If you like SoftEther to start as a service on startup create a file named vpnserver in /etc/init.d directory and change it to the following:Р”Р‡irst create and open the file using vi or nano: vi /etc/init.d/vpnserverР”Р„nd paste the following into the file: #!/bin/shР”Р‡inally save and close the file by pressing esc and typing :wq to close vim. Р”Р„nd then change the files permission in order to protect them: chmod 600 * Now that SoftEther is compiled we can move the vpnserver directory to someplace else, here we move it to usr/local: cd. If the process fails, check if you have all of the requirement packages installed. SoftEther is now compiled and made into executable files (vpnserver and vpncmd).

Select 1 to read the agreement, again to confirm read, and finally to agree to the License Agreement. SoftEther will ask you to read and agree with its License Agreement.

Note: On Fedora, I have found that the gcc package doesnРІР‚в„ўt get installed using the command above so you have to install it manually using yum install gcc. You can install all the packages necessary to build SoftEther using the command below:Р”Вebian / Ubuntu: apt-get install build-essential -yР”В¬entOS / Fedora: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' Make, gccbinutils (gcc), libc (glibc), zlib, openssl, readline, and ncurses In order to compile SoftEther, the following tools and packages must be installed on your server: The package used in this tutorial is named softether-vpnserver-v2.00-938.09. so we will extract it using the command below: tar xzvf softether-vpnserver-v2.00-938.09.Р”Р„fter extracting it, a directory named vpnserver will be created in the working folder. Now we have to extract the package we received from the SoftEther download page and compile it. After the file is saved, we can press РІР‚СљQРІР‚Сњ to quit Lynx and move on with the installation. Finally download the tar file from the next page by pressing the РІР‚СљDРІР‚Сњ key on the link, and choose РІР‚СљSave to diskРІР‚Сњ when asked by Lynx. Depending on your server hardware architecture, choose a package the 32bit - Intel x86 and 64bit - Intel РµСљвЂ 4 or AMD64 work for DigitalOcean 32bit or 64bit droplets. Now choose Linux and in the next page choose SoftEther VPN Server. Choose which version you want (in this tutorial we use v2.00-938.09.16) and then press Enter to go to the link. This page contains all versions of the SoftEther available. Now using the command below browse the SoftEther download webpage: lynx Alternatively, you can use a terminal based web browser such as lynx to browse the SoftEther website and download the right package. There are a couple of ways of dealing with this: First, browse their website on your own computer and then depending on your server configuration (OS, x86/РµСљвЂ 4, etc.) find the link to the appropriate package then use wget to download the package to your server. Therefore you have to browse their website using a desktop browser to download the package. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting the latest version through package managers (or even using a single url) at the moment. You can download the latest SoftEther server package for Linux from their website:
