In addition to using its own VPN protocol, SoftEther VPN Server software accepts connections using a variety of other VPN protocols. The SoftEther SSL-VPN protocol is therefore great for overcoming various forms of VPN blocks. Thus it is very difficult for firewalls to block. This makes SoftEther VPN traffic all but indistinguishable from regular secure HTTPS traffic. This is because it is based on HTTPS and therefore uses SSL/TLS encryption and TCP port 443. The SoftEther VPN protocol is also referred to as SSL-VPN. SoftEther is a free and open-source alternative VPN platform. In practice, SoftEther and OpenVPN are the best-supported VPN protocols. The SoftEther server software used by VPNGate VPN relay servers can accept connections using the SoftEther VPN protocol (see below), OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, SSTP, and more. This does somewhat limit your options with geo-spoofing. A full and up-to-date server list is always available. However, from our experience you do not get a wide selection of server locations to pick from (as you do with a paid VPN service).

Servers are located primarily in Japan, with a few servers in Korea, the USA, and the UK.

This number will vary somewhat from day-to-day, but there will always be lots of them to choose from. As I write this, there are 13,781 registered public VPN relay servers, of which 95 are online. Users can freely connect to any of thousands of servers run by volunteers around the world.
