Download SoftEther VPN

SoftEther VPN is a free, open-source, and high-performance multi-protocol VPN solution developed at the University of Tsukuba. It supports multiple VPN protocols including SSL-VPN, L2TP/IPsec, OpenVPN, and MS-SSTP, allowing it to connect to virtually any VPN server or client environment.

One of SoftEther VPN’s greatest strengths is its ability to bypass strict corporate firewalls and NAT devices by tunneling traffic over HTTPS (port 443) — a port that is almost never blocked. It also includes access to VPN Gate, a volunteer-operated network of free public VPN relay servers available worldwide.

Whether you are looking to set up your own private VPN server or connect to an existing VPN network for privacy and security, SoftEther VPN delivers unmatched flexibility, performance, and compatibility — all completely free.
