SoftEther XP issue.
I am at a loss as to what new to try here.
I did register a new Device name on my account, TheDocIsHere@xp
I made one new SoftEther connection using TheDocIsHere@xp on an XPmachine, https://imgur.com/59GGBc7
But I could not make much progress with that because attempting to use that for a connection shortly after registering the new Device results in an endless loop asking me again and again to verify the Username and Password.

I restarted a few times but that had no effect, I still got the endless loop asking me to verify the Username and Password
I experienced this issue early on in my testing of VPN with my original initial single Device name. So I expect this problem may sort itself out by itself eventually , as it did at that time.
( But I doubt that a working new device name will have any effect on the remaining SoftEther XP issue).
On your Windows XP machine can you do the following commands in command prompt, press 'Windows Key + R' and then type in cmd in the Run box and hit Enter. Now type in the following command in Command Prompt, enter this both when you are not connected to VPN and also while connected to VPN:
nslookup hide.me
nslookup hide.me 8.8.8.8
route print
Regarding this screenshot https://imgur.com/KMk8m1F - VPN client Adapter is adapter for SoftEther and TAP Windows Adapter V9 adapter is for OpenVPN.
Please check that you are not connecting both SoftEther and OpenVPN connection at the same time.
Also, on Windows XP and Vista please try (this configuration file), you can also try it on other computer
I have not had time to look thoroughly further at my XP/SoftEther issue yet. I will do this and then report back to you in another EMail. )
Remaining XP SoftEther issue.
I have not had time to look thoroughly yet at this. I will do this and then report back to you. Firstly I will try the suggestions from your last Email. Another thing that I will possibly try is older Client versions
_:___
Just some thoughts........ I suppose it makes some sense to try older Clients if using older operating systems… ? I wonder if a "rule of thumb" could be to try a version whose issue date is close to and/or shortly after the most recent Windows update that is on the computer on which you want to install the Client. My reason for suggesting this is that I presume the people who write this software would routinely be testing their software on a fairly up to date system which would likely have the most recent windows updates of that time.
( I already know from my own small experience that unfortunately, Microsoft updates usually seem to cause at least as many problems as they solve…………….)

I will also prepare some configuration files for your computers with TCP mode in the settings as some service providers throttle UDP based protocols and TCP based protocol might work better for you.
Try this configuration file from (here) and download this one from (here).
Just make sure you don't start VPN connection on your XP computer with both SoftEther while OpenVPN connection was already active.
Some configuration files (openvpn-berlin and openvpn-berlin-21) won't work on older OpenVPN client versions since the configuration files have tls crypt which is not supported on OpenVPN 2.3 versions. You can download configuration files for Windows XP and Vista from your Members area as it still provides older versions.
Openvpn-berlin and openvpn-berlin-21 configuration files you can use with OpenVPN 2.4. on Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10.
Sorry to hear about issues with downloading SoftEther and on one of your computers you can also try using this link to check if there are any issues with downloading - http://www.softether-download.com/fi..._x64-intel.exe
The version you've successfully downloaded and installed is the build from 2016 and as you noticed it does make sense to try out older version as compatibility issues are resolved - https://www.softether-download.com/f..._x64-intel.exe
And you can try this build on Windows XP machine as well.
Since you mentioned Windows updates bring more problems than fixes, recently what happened is just that - check this article for example: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...work-adapters/
Thanks for the feedback,I'm glad to hear it's working better now and I hope SoftEther will also improve.

XP Issue…
So, back to the XP / SoftEther remaining issue.
( [size=2] This is the issue whereby it appears that a connection will give a working internet only once at approximately a couple of day intervals. Attempts more often than that at a dis connection / connection, appear to be successful, but the internet will not work
