Configuring SoftEther VPN on Netgear NAS 626x
Hello,
I have a question how I can configure SoftEther on my Netgear 626x? I saw in APPs that I can install SoftEther VPN, but it's no lunch button for this. How I can configure this VPN server and what do I need to make it work(static IP/ host name, etc)?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Yurii

I used it quite some time ago. If I remember correctly, it sets up a share that contains the configuration files so you can gain access to them without dropping to SSH. But I think it's also a pretty ancient version.
I switched to ZeroTier, but the ReadyNAS-specific version of that is also long in the tooth, now.
So looks like I have to go with VPN on router or to install VPN Server on one of my severs.
On the router usually works best. Alternately, you could install an updated version via SSH. But you need to take care you don't leave it a way to fill the OS partition (with logs, for example). And that doesn't solve the issue of configuring through something other than SSH.
