Debian 8 has been archived, so in order to install anything, you have to make some changes. See How-I-got-apt-update-and-install-to-work-with-Debian-Jessie.

i manage to update the Softether from this Topic https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=68597&p=100193
but when i connect to server via SoftEther VPN Server Manager it shows me that the old Version is installed? Bug?
Is there any SoftEther Admin Web UI on the Server?
is this right that i have in app/vpnserver/bin a /arm folder? this ist the same what in the /bin is? right?

I don't know about SoftEther explicitly, but there is a very good chance that the version of required dependencies for the latest version are not available for Debian 8 and the version you are showing may be the last one that will work on it. You will likely get a more definitive response in the forum where you found the post you linked.

Hi again, here is my Instruction to update the VPN SoftEther on ReadyNas 212:
first edit the Source List
-------------------------------
source list - etc/apt/sources.list
*********************************
deb https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.10.8 updates apps main
deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.kernel.org/debian-archive/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb [trusted=yes] http://archive.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main contrib non-free------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after that you need to create apt.conf file in /etc/apt
copy this to apt.conf and save:
Get::AllowUnauthenticated true;
Acquire::Check-Valid-Until false;----------------------------------------------------------------
now you are redy to go:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade (don't do this, it is not recommended by Netgear and can do damage).
apt-get install nano
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install make libc6-dev gcc gdb libtag1-dev uuid-devmkdir /root/softether
cd /root/softether
tar xvf softether-vpnserver-v4.42-9798-rtm-2023.06.30-linux-arm_eabi-32bit.tar.gz
cp -avr /apps/vpnserver/bin/vpn_server.config /root/softether/vpnserver/
cp -avr /apps/vpnserver/bin/vpn_server.config.save /root/softether/vpnserver/cd /root/softether/vpnserver
make (or "./.install.sh")
