5.3 Differences between VPN Server and VPN Bridge

Combined revision comparison

  SoftEther VPN Bridge is a software product for creating a connection (bridge) between a Virtual Hub at a remote location and a physical network adapter, minus some of the functions of SoftEther VPN Server. With the exception of the differences noted here, the descriptions of SoftEther VPN Server in #3# can be used to understand the use, principles of operation, and management of SoftEther VPN Bridge. For the detailed setup method of SoftEther VPN Bridge, refer to this chapter while replacing all descriptions of VPN Server with VPN Bridge and sevpnservervpnserver with sevpnbridgevpnbridge.

However, VPN Bridge is similar to VPN Server in that it has a TCP/IP listener port. By default, the three enabled TCP/IP listener ports are 443, 992, and 55558888, the same as those on VPN Server. These TCP/IP listener ports are required for management connection from a local or remote client to VPN Bridge using VPN Server Manager or the vpncmd utility.
