• About
  Anti-Virus software

  This program uses the networking functions of the operating
  system for its core VPN capability.
  Some anti-virus software or firewalls warn that such
  behavior might be dangerous.
  If your anti-virus software disrupts the VPN function, add the
  VPN program file or the installer to its whitelist.

Notice: About background services

The notes in this section are not specific to
SoftEther VPN or VPN Gate, but apply to general system
software.

SoftEther VPN Client, SoftEther VPN Server, SoftEther VPN
Bridge, and VPN Gate Relay Service will be installed on your
computer as system services. System services always run in
the background. System services usually do not appear on the
computer display. Then your computer system is booted,
system services automatically start in the background even
before you or other users log in. To check whether
SoftEther-related system service is running, check the
process list or the background service list of your OS
(called as “Services” in Windows, or “Daemons” in UNIX.) You
can activate, deactivate, start, or stop system services
using the functions of the OS anytime. SoftEther-related GUI
tools for managing system services communicate with these
system services. After you terminate these management GUI
tools, SoftEther-related system services will continue to
run in the background. System services consume CPU time,
computer power, memory and disk space. Because system
services consume power, your electricity charges and amount
of thermal of your computer increase as result. In addition,
there is a possibility that the mechanical parts of the life
of your computer is reduced.
