CUP.COM｜Way of VPN connection of SoftEther by Windows8

Though SoftEther requires installation of client soft, it adopts SSL-VPN protocol resistant to restrictions. SoftEther is recommendable for Client who stays in a country where Internet access is restricted and has such an anxiety as VPN cannot be connected by PPTP or L2PT/IPSec, or VPN connection is often shut down or slow. VPN server “solely for SoftEther” is shown in the server list. In May, 2014, China enhanced the restrictions. In particular, SoftEther was targeted and now SoftEther, when used in the same way as before, is easier to be restricted than PPTP. In order to avoid it, CUP.COM provides SoftEther VPN server specially prepared against the restrictions. For this purpose, the IP address is not opened to the public. Please inquire the IP address through Inquiry. ※We provide this method, limiting to the case that VPN connection is impossible by any means. If Client is in such situation, please let us know the details.※
