How to Combine V2Ray with SoftEther on PC

Combining V2Ray with SoftEther involves setting up a configuration where V2Ray serves as a proxy for SoftEther, enhancing the security and privacy of your VPN connections. Below are the general steps to achieve this on a Windows PC:

Prerequisites:

1. Install V2Ray:
   • Download and install V2Ray on your PC. You can find the latest release on the V2Ray GitHub releases page.
2. Install SoftEther VPN Server:
   • Download and install the SoftEther VPN Server on your PC. You can find the latest version on the SoftEther Download page.

Steps to Combine V2Ray with SoftEther:

1. Configure V2Ray:

• Create a V2Ray configuration file (e.g., config.json). Below is a simple example:
  jsonCopy code

  {
"inbounds": [
{
"port": 1080,
"protocol": "socks",
"settings": {
"auth": "noauth"
}
}
],
"outbounds": [
{
"protocol": "freedom",
"settings": {}
}
]
}

• Start V2Ray with the configuration file.

2. Configure SoftEther VPN Server:

• Launch the SoftEther VPN Server Manager.
• Create a new Virtual Hub and set up users as needed.

3. Set Up a Local Bridge:

• In the SoftEther VPN Server Manager, go to “Local Bridges.”
• Create a new Local Bridge connecting the Virtual Hub to the network interface where you want the VPN traffic to be relayed.

4. Set Up a SoftEther VPN Client:

• Download and install the SoftEther VPN Client on the client machine.
• Connect to the SoftEther VPN Server using the Virtual Hub and user credentials.

5. Configure Browser or Applications:

• Configure your browser or applications to use the SOCKS proxy provided by V2Ray.
  • Host: 127.0.0.1
  • Port: 1080
  • Protocol: SOCKS5

6. Verify Connection:

• Ensure that the traffic from your browser or applications is going through the combined setup of V2Ray and SoftEther.

Important Considerations:

• Security:
  • Ensure that V2Ray and SoftEther are properly configured and secure. Use strong authentication for SoftEther and V2Ray.
• Firewall Configuration:
  • Configure the firewall to allow traffic through the ports used by both V2Ray and SoftEther.
• Logging and Monitoring:
  • Set up logging and monitoring to detect any issues or unusual activity.
• Network Policies:
  • Be aware that using VPNs might violate the terms of service of your network provider. Always use these tools responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws and terms of service.
• Documentation:
  • Refer to the documentation of both V2Ray and SoftEther for more detailed and specific configuration options.

Keep in mind that the steps provided are general guidelines, and the exact configurations may vary based on your specific requirements and the versions of the software you are using. Always refer to the official documentation of V2Ray and SoftEther for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
