"Good VPN but I may switch"
What do you like best about SoftEther VPN?

It is a good vpn and it works like a vpn but I am not totally sold on it. I like the UI more than something like Nordvpn, but no as much as proton. I also like that it is feature rich for the company and has special options like split tunneling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SoftEther VPN?

I do not dislike it but I just know of other solutions that are better. Like protonvpn. I like the UI better. If it wasnt for the features, I would switch but the features keep me. I just wish they had more servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
