As described in #3.2Operating Modes#, , SoftEther VPN Bridge can be operated in either service mode or user mode. When configuring VPN Bridge for use as part of an everyday operation system, we recommend installing SoftEther VPN Server in Bridge mode. The installer for the Windows version of VPN Bridge installs the VPN Bridge program to the system in service mode.
...
When installation of the Windows version of VPN Bridge is completed, the SoftEther VPN Bridge service is already running in the background on the Windows system. Normally, the computer does not have to be restarted after installation of the program. However, if you expect to use the local bridge function while using a network adapter that supports hardware offloading, as described in #3.6.10#,3.6 Local Bridges, we recommend that you restart the computer.

You can add or delete the service for the vpnbridge.exe process using the method described in the description of the service mode of the Windows SoftEther VPN Bridge in #3.2.1#.3.2 Operating Modes. You can use this method, for example, to move all setting files in the VPN Bridge installation directory to a different directory or hard drive, and then re-register the process as a service. (However, we cannot recommend using this method as the uninstaller may not be able to properly uninstall the program.)

We recommend operating the Windows version of VPN Bridge as a service mode program, but you can also start VPN Bridge in the user mode by using the method described in #3.2.2#.3.2 Operating Modes. When VPN Bridge is started in user mode, critical security holes, such as buffer overruns, exist temporarily on the VPN Bridge , but because only user accounts starting VPN Bridge in user mode would be affected if an attack were to occur, VPN Bridge can be used relatively securely and safely. However, SoftEther VPN Project does not recommend actually operating VPN Bridge in user mode for the following reasons.
- The local bridge function cannot be used. (For details, please refer to
#3.6Local Bridges#.).) - Some features of the disaster recovery function, such as automatic recovery when an error occurs in a self process, cannot be used. (For details, please refer to
#3.3.12#.)3.3 VPN Server Administration.) - To start the VPN Bridge process in user mode, the user must remained logged on to the server. The user cannot operate VPN Bridge when the user logs off or when no users are logged on to the server after Windows starts. For these reasons, user mode is not suited for actual operation of VPN Bridge .
