ProtoOptionsGet command - Lists the options for the specified protocol
Help for command "ProtoOptionsGet"
Purpose:
Lists the options for the specified protocol
Description:
This command can be used to retrieve the options for a specific protocol.
Detailed info (e.g. value type) will be shown.
You can change an option's value with the ProtoOptionsSet command.
Usage:
ProtoOptionsGet [protocol]
Parameters:
protocol - Protocol name.
ProtoOptionsSet command - Sets an option's value for the specified protocol
Help for command "ProtoOptionsSet"
Purpose:
Sets an option's value for the specified protocol
Description:
This command can be used to change an option's value for a specific protocol.
You can retrieve the options using the ProtoOptionsGet command.
To execute this command, you must have VPN Server administrator privileges.
Usage:
ProtoOptionsSet [protocol] [/NAME:option_name] [/VALUE:string/true/false]
Parameters:
protocol - Protocol name.
/NAME - Option name.
/VALUE - Option value. Make sure to write a value that is accepted by the specified protocol!
Previously, the file needed to be present in order for the setup to work.
This commit removes the requirement so that the setup can be ran from the build directory without the need to copy the file (which is now removed from the repository).
SoftEther VPN originally created the NIC in the UP state and never changed it, even when the the client was not connected.
The behavior was changed in 59e1483dbf, which also added the NicDownOnDisconnect option
The option was disabled by default for backwards compatibility with scripts that don't check whether the NIC is down, but it's not ideal.
This commit forces the correct behavior and removes the commands "TUNDownOnDisconnectEnable", "TUNDownOnDisconnectDisable" and "TUNDownOnDisconnectGet".
PortsUDPSet: This command can be used to specify a single or multiple UDP ports the server should listen on. "0" can be specified to disable the UDP listener.
Administrator privileges are required to execute the command.
PortsUDPGet: This command can be used to retrieve the UDP ports the server is listening on.
The two commands replace the functionality that was previously provided by OpenVpnEnable and OpenVpnGet, respectively.
Now that Proto supports UDP, the server can handle multiple protocols on each UDP port.
The UDP ports are specified by the "OpenVPN_UdpPortList" configuration setting, because:
- OpenVPN is currently the only UDP protocol supported by SoftEther VPN to allow a custom port number.
- Before Proto was introduced, a unified interface for the protocols didn't exist; each protocol implementation had to create its own listener.
In preparation for the upcoming WireGuard implementation, this commit renames "OpenVPN_UdpPortList" to "PortsUDP", which should clarify that the setting is global.
The change is reflected in the code. Also, the ports are now stored in a LIST rather than a string. The conversion between string and LIST only happens when loading/saving the configuration.
The default UDP ports are now the same as the TCP ones (443, 992, 1194, 5555).
This allows an OpenVPN client to bypass a firewall which is aware of the protocol and is able to block it.
The XOR mask set on the server has to be the same on the client, otherwise it will not be able to connect with certain obfuscation modes.
A special OpenVPN client built with the "XOR patch" is required in order to use this function, because it has never been merged in the official OpenVPN repository.
Two parameters are added to the server configuration: "OpenVPNObfuscationMethod" and "OpenVPNObfuscationMask".
Their value can be retrieved with "OpenVpnObfuscationGet" and set with "OpenVpnObfuscationEnable" in the VPN Command Line Management Utility.
