Easy VPN for most of your needs. free self hosted. or public servers for all of ya.

The other day a client asked me to create a VPN for him as one of his lacom routers stopped working for windows 10 they asked him to update its license for more or less 200-300$
Couldn't help my self but seek an easy solution this 50 year old businessman would be able to manage and handle even in my absence .
That's when I fell upon softether (http://www.softether.org/)

"SoftEther VPN Project develops and distributes SoftEther VPN,
An Open-Source Free ​Cross-platform Multi-protocol VPN Program,
as an academic project from University of Tsukuba."

It supports many of the VPN setups one might needs

It is cross platform. and in windows it has a really nice graphical user interface that even a child could find his way out

It can traverse NATs and bypass firewall if you are in no place to configure them as to allow a normal vpn setup.
It is really a wonder of the university of Tsubaka and I'm glad for their open-source work.
You can even use public servers of their own if you only need the safety a vpn offers you and not that pc to lan, lan to lan stuff most offices or workers might need.

one other amazing feature is that they bound you with a domain that is cross checking with you public ip in the form of
yourvpnname.softether.net or yourname.vpnazure.net if you choose to go through the azure cloud as well.
pretty good finding if you ask me.
