    The earlier version of SoftEther 1.0 (older version) only allowed the user to create one Virtual Network Adapter on the system. In SoftEther VPN Client, however, multiple Virtual Network Adapters can be created on the system, unique TCP/IP protocol settings can be configured for each Virtual Network Adapter, and these Virtual Network Adapters can then connect to the VPN simultaneously as individual network devices.

    ...

    In SoftEther 1.0 (older version),1.0, it was possible to connect a virtual network to a physical network using the Windows function to create a bridge connection between the Virtual Network Adapter and physical network adapter.

    In SoftEther VPN, the user can create a local bridge connection between a Virtual Hub and an existing physical LAN with the functions provided in VPN Server and VPN Bridge. (For details, please refer to #3.6Local Bridges#.).)Because the performance of the local bridge connection function of VPN Server / VPN Bridge is the same as or better than that when using VPN Client together with the bridge connection function of Windows XP or later, normally, there is no need to use the bridge connection function on the client side.

    Under special circumstances or when the user wants to create a bridge connection between the Virtual Network Adapter and physical network adapter on the VPN Client side, a bridge connection can be created in the same way as the Virtual Network Adapter of SoftEther 1.0 (older version).1.0. In these cases, connect the Virtual Network Adapter and the physical network adapter using the same method for creating a bridge connection between two network adapters using the functions of Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista/7/8/Server 2008/Server 2012.
