make SoftEther VPN server automatically start at boot time on Ubuntu, you can create a systemd service unit for it. You can use the following command to create the file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vpnserver.service
[Unit]
Description=SoftEther VPN Server
After=network.target
After=dbus.service
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/vpnserver/vpnserver start
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
systemctl daemon-reload
After creating the file, you can start the VPN server with the command:
sudo systemctl start vpnserver.
To set auto-start at boot time, use the command:
sudo systemctl enable vpnserver
End...
