(Note: The VPN Server Security Group has to allow incoming ICMP from your IP, the private instance has to allow ICMP from the VPN security group in order to get it to work). If it works, try to ping to another private instance in the same VPC using it’s private IP. When the VPN is connected, ping to your VPN server using it’s private IP and see whether it go through.

To do this we create startup script for it: 1 Setup SoftEther ServerĪfter installing and configuring the OS environment, we want to let the VPN server run as a system daemon and also will start up whenever the system boots up. The IP addresses mentioned above can be changed to reflect your actual settings, you don’t have to follow exactly the same setup. And Local Bridge requires a DHCP server to be up and running. The reason why we setup the DHCP server is that we’re not gonna use the SecureNAT option provided by SoftEther, we will use Local Bridge instead because it’s less CPU consuming and it’s faster in terms of speed. Go to your AWS console and disable the source/dest check for your VPN instance. Disable Source/Destination Check for the instance The tap_vpn inferface is going to be used by the SoftEther VPN server to setup the local bridge. In the above setup, we created a DHCP server for the network interface tap “vpn”, the DHCP IP range is between 192.168.7.10 to 192.168.7.100, the router is set at 192.168.7.1 and the static routing routes all traffic from the router 192.168.7.1 to 10.10.0.0/16, which is the VPC CIDR in my case. Note that the IP 192.168.7.1 is the VPN Server IP for it’s local bridge setup, which we will introduce later, and the IP 10.10.0.41 is the private IP of the VPN Server. There are essentially 4 things that we need to do to get it working: Enable IP forward 1Īdd a POSTROUTING rule to NAT table and make it persistent 1 Configure the OSĪfter installing it, in order to make SoftEther VPN server to work properly, we need to configure the OS environment. If you see everything passed successfully, your system is good and VPN server can safely be used. It is most likely that SoftEther VPN Server / Bridge can operate normally on this system.

This article introduces how to set up a SoftEther VPN server on AWS EC2 instance that resides in a public subnet of a AWS VPC and how to set up VPN client on Mac OS to make VPN connection, which enables the client to access the private instances located within the private subnets of the same VPC using their private IP as if they’re in the same local network.
