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-dev
mkdir /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

Thanks,
Worked like a charm on my old Readynas Pro 6 with OS 6.10.10Although the directory "/apps/vpnserver/bin" did not exist (I had to do a factory reset a while ago),
I was able to make it work ! 😊👍🏻
