SoftEther VPN Client + VPN Gate Client Plugin

VPN clients enable users to bypass regional restrictions on the web, as well as government-placed firewalls, which restrict access to certain services. They can also protect your identity, since they essentially give you a new IP address. This is the kind of functionality you can expect from SoftEther VPN Client. However, unlike most VPN clients you will find on the Internet, this one gives you more control over your connection. It lets you make a wide range of manual adjustments, but it is still easy enough to use, thanks to its VPN Gate Client Plugin.

Another advantage over other VPN clients is the fact that SoftEther VPN Client is free. It comes in a small package and it can be installed quickly. The software is compatible with all popular Windows versions and it provides support for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems.

The software is a bit more complex than the traditional VPN clients you can find online. The main user interface displays VPN connections and virtual network adapters in different lists, on its upper half and lower half. Before you add a new VPN to the list, you have to create a virtual network adapter, which doesn't involve any settings at all.

You can either create a new VPN connection from scratch or choose an existing one from a list. If you decide to create a connection yourself, you will have to fill in a series of input fields and make various tweaks, on a separate window. In this case, the software lets you choose between virtual network adapters, authentication types, manage certificates and more.

If you lack the knowledge to set up your own VPN connection, you may choose an existing one. The software provides you with a long list of public VPN relay servers. All you have to do is select one and click a button and your Internet connection will be rerouted through that server in just a few seconds.

If you want to have access to contents or services that are restricted in your country or if you wish to surf the web anonymously, then you should definitely try SoftEther VPN Client.
