    Setting Description
    VPN Connection Setting Name Displays the name of the connection setting.
    Session Status Displays the connection status of the connection setting. One of the following connection statuses is displayed.
    • Starting Connection to VPN Server
    • Negotiating
    • Authenticating User
    • Connection Established
    • Retrying
    • Idling
    • Connecting
    • Connection Established (Session Established)
    Server Name Displays the host name or IP address of the destination VPN Server. The IP address of the VPN Server computer to which VPN Client is actually connected is displayed even when connected to a cluster, thereby letting you know to which VPN Server of the cluster the client is connected.
    Port Number Displays the destination TCP/IP port number.
    Server Product Name Displays the product name and edition name of the destination VPN Server.
    Server Version Displays the version number of the destination VPN Server.
    Server Build Displays the build number of the destination VPN Server.
    Connection Start Time Displays the time when the VPN connection process started using the connection setting. For example, this indicates the time when the user double-clicked the connection setting.
    Time that first session was established Displays the time when the initial VPN session was established and VPN communication started.
    Number of Established Sessions Displays the time when the current VPN session was established and VPN communication started.
    Number of Sessions Established Displays the number of times that a VPN session has been successfully established. This number increases each time a VPN connection is established, the connection is terminated, and a VPN connection is established again.
    Half-Duplex TCP Connection Mode Displays whether the SoftEther VPN protocol communication mode for the VPN session is the half-duplex connection mode.
    VoIP / QoS Support Function Displays whether the VoIP / QoS support function (for details, see #1.9 VoIP / QoS Support Function#) ) is enabled for this session.
    Number of TCP Connections Displays the number of current TCP/IP connections in the VPN session.
    Maximum Number of TCP Connections Displays the maximum number of TCP/IP connections that can be used in the VPN session.
    Encryption Displays whether the VPN session is protected using encryption or a digital signature.
    Use of Compression Displays whether the VPN session is using compressed data communication via a data compression algorithm.
    Session Name Displays the ID identifying the session.
    Session Key (160-bit) Displays the internal management ID uniquely identifying the session created by VPN Server.
    Bridge/Router Mode Displays whether the session type is the bridge/router mode.
    Monitoring Mode Displays whether the session type is the monitoring mode.
    Outgoing Data Size Displays the number of data bytes sent from the VPN client to VPN Server using the SoftEther VPN protocol (approximate number of packets actually flowing through the physical IP network).
    Receive Data Size Displays the number of data bytes sent from VPN Server to the VPN client using the SoftEther VPN protocol (approximate number of packets actually flowing through the physical IP network).
    Incoming Data Size Displays the number of virtual Ethernet frame packets sent and received and the total data size (updated in real-time).

    ...

    When a communication error, such as a communication timeout when connecting or connected to VPN Server, occurs, an error message is displayed, as shown below. The error message displays the error code and error description. For information about the error codes, please refer to #12.5#.
