We all know a VPN's primary function in hiding geolocation is by masking your IP address. Websites and services see the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to, not your actual location.

IMO SoftEther VPN offers several advantages over other VPN protocols:

Speed: SoftEther VPN is considered one of the fastest VPN protocols available, boasting speeds up to 5 times faster than OpenVPN. This is due to its efficient tunneling protocol.

Security: SoftEther VPN prioritizes security with strong encryption algorithms and authentication methods. Being open-source also contributes to its security, as the code is publicly available for scrutiny by the security community.

Open-source: SoftEther VPN is an open-source project, which allows for community contributions, improvements, and customization of the software. This can lead to a more robust and feature-rich product.

Firewall and NAT traversal: SoftEther VPN can easily establish connections through firewalls and NAT proxies, making it a good choice for users who have difficulty using other VPN protocols due to network restrictions.

Ease of use: SoftEther VPN offers a user-friendly interface for both server and client management. There's also a function to clone OpenVPN servers, allowing existing OpenVPN clients to connect to SoftEther VPN seamlessly.

To get VPN Gate working on Windows 11, you'll need to install the SoftEther VPN Client with VPN Gate Client Plug-in. Here's a breakdown:

SoftEther VPN Client: This is the core application that allows your computer to connect to VPNs using various protocols.

VPN Gate Client Plug-in: This is an extension specifically designed for SoftEther VPN Client to simplify connecting to VPN Gate servers.

Here's how to get started:

Head over to the VPN Gate download page [download VPN Gate Client].

Download the version compatible with Windows 11 (usually a ".zip" file).

Extract the downloaded file.

Once the installation is complete, you'll have the SoftEther VPN Client ready to connect to VPN Gate servers.

Additional Notes:

You don't need to install any additional software from Microsoft for SoftEther VPN Gate on Windows 11.

After installation, you can use the SoftEther VPN Client to connect to various VPN Gate servers.

It is worth looking for something free based on local vpn like this:

How to Create a VPN Server on Your Windows Computer Without Installing Any Software

Windows has the built-in ability to function as VPN server using the point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP), although this option is somewhat hidden.

www.howtogeek.com

And add some location anonymizers to the system.
[Windows 11] aditi12:
Systweak VPN typically provides a simple and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to connect to the VPN and switch servers as needed

Systweak VPN, like many other VPN services, offers several benefits that make it an appealing choice for users seeking online privacy and security.
[Windows 11] ze7zez:
Privacy and security on the Internet does not exist, just like in real life. One can only create in oneself the impression that it exists.
[Windows 11] rodken:
I would have to agree with you. However, it's not entirely hopeless. By the same token, walking down a well-lit street at night is generally safer than walking down a dark alley. One can't guarantee complete safety on either path, but taking precautions increases one's chances of somewhat of a safe journey even if we collectively have to deal with companies, websites, hackers and malicious actors constantly try to steal data and/or disrupt overall systems.

Kind of reminds me of all of the write-ups, articles and white papers that have covered these type of topics since the early days of MS-DOS.
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:
The SoftEther VPN I propagated here consists of 2 components: Softether VPN Client and Softether VPN Server what are two distinct components of the SoftEther VPN software suite, each serving a different purpose, both are essential components for establishing and maintaining a secure VPN network:

Softether VPN Client:

Establishes a secure VPN connection from a remote device to a VPN server.

Installed on the Windows device that needs to connect to the VPN server.

Encrypts internet traffic and routes it through the VPN server, masking your IP address and location.

Softether VPN Server:

Hosts the VPN connection point, allowing remote clients to connect and establish a secure tunnel.

Installed on the computer that will act as the VPN server, which can be a physical or virtual machine.

Manages incoming VPN connection requests, authenticates users, and facilitates secure data transfer between connected clients.

Yes, there are potential security concerns with using free VPN servers running SoftEther. Here's why:

Unvetted Servers: Free VPN servers might not be operated by reputable providers. They could have weak security practices or even be malicious.

Unclear Logging Practices: Free VPN servers might not be transparent about their logging policies. They could be logging your data and online activity, which defeats the purpose of using a VPN for privacy.

Bandwidth Throttling: Free VPN servers often limit bandwidth or prioritize paying users, leading to slower and less reliable connections.

Malware Injection: In the worst case, some free VPN servers might inject malware into your device or track your activity for nefarious purposes.

Yes, there have been reports of bad SoftEther VPN servers. Here's why: The open-source nature of SoftEther allows anyone to set up a VPN server. This means there's no guarantee of the server's security or legitimacy.

BUT: Even commercial VPN servers don't offer 100% security.
[Windows 11] ze7zez:
This is an important statement and a warning to unwary people.

is Softrther suport client for linux?
[Windows 11] xXx yYy:

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] 6o6o6oo66:
Mi a3 was working perfectly in the case of flashing. I was using an unofficial version of arrowOs by the great dudes over at mi a3 telegram and the official rom page but after a sideload to a newer version of arrow os, also unofficial the damn thing froze up at the android one logo. I tried temp flashing twrp but that didnt turn out well. TLDR; my phone was bricked but I flashed stock rom and problem solved. and I am gonna try it again but I want to try flashing again. here are the software specs of my device

My Mi a3 runs on version 1.0.25.0 rfqmixm and its latest update was the august 2022 patch. If it sounds rushed, its probably because i am new and my Windows machine automatically shut down.

Update: probably a duck-up on my side. No offense to ArrowOS and Hearts out to Solution Engineer on YT and The unnoficial rom for lineage os by Skyblueborb. Still seeking an answer on why this happened though.

Anyone did see this anoying problem:

Recently (don´t know exactly since when, 2 or 3 days) all mail windows I open, are shown with the scrollbar moved to the very bottom.

Happens in Mail and SMS Detailwindows. Not anywhere else - as long as I realized it.

Mail-list-window ist OK.

As soon as a mail is opend, scrollbar is set to the bottom or middle position. Even if nothing is there. So you have to scroll up on every opend mail.

Any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Use KaiserTweak.

Under Internet Explorer, there's a setting for "enable 4-way/d-pad navigation". Make sure that's disabled, soft-reset, and you should be good to go. For whatever reason, this is NOT the same setting as is listed under AdvancedConfig, in my experience it MUST be done with KaiserTweak.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeanutFlake:
Hello together,

i try to root a Galaxy Tab Active5 or moreof i try to find some informations about this before i do. Didn't found threads about this model at all. The goal is to enable this one to boot up by plugging power supply on and to shutdown the device remotely over ethernet. The Solutions for the single Reuirements are clear, but it strongly requires rooting of the Tablet.

I'm engineer for digital solutions, so i have basic knowledge about Android Deivces, but never rooted one in my entire life and no experiences with Samsung Devices at all. After long research i decided to just post my open questions here.

Firstable, it is possible to root this Device? I do not find satisfying anwsers. which looks, that there are maybe unresolved challenges for rooting this model (SM-X300).

There is a good looking guide for rooting a SM-X306B on samupdates.com but if i try to find a Fireware for my Model, there is no result at all.

So i tried to analyze whats the differences between X300 and X306B.

It looks like the X300 is just the Wifi Model of the Tab Active5, right? And X306B is the Model Name for the 5G Version. By the Manual, it looks, that these two are basically the same, with exception of some components only available on the X306/308.

So is the Fireware listed as X306B suitable for both devices?

If only the Mobile Modules were removed, i do not see any critical problem for this (but again, no experience with Samsung Tablets, maybe there will be critical errors while initializing any drivers, dont know).

Then I found myself on autoroot.chainfire.eu / desktop.firmware.mobi where again no firmware for this one (X300) is found. Which supports my assumption above i think.

But before i break my device, can anyone clear it up?

[General Questions and Answers] BoomBustInvest:
I installed an earlier version but it didn't recognise the 3.7Gig of books. (Very poor from google to leave users in this state of affairs). Is there no way I can just delete all files and folders in location /storage/Android/data/com/google.android.apps.books ?
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Or maybe it is the data of another user/login? Have you tried restoring the factory settings?
[General Questions and Answers] BoomBustInvest:
no definitely just me that has used this phone and installed apps on it. I actually did a factory reset about a year ago and that was actually way after I used the old google books app so even a factory reset did not remove this file. Surely there is some tool/app for android where I can force delete all the files in /storage/Android/data/com/google.android.apps.books ?

Have you try to remove it trough adb shell?

If you have access to the original firmware, then do a flashing. Then you will get a clean system.
