Request for SoftEther VPN over ICMP

Post by farid110 »

Hi
First of all thanks for your great work in developing an android client for SoftEther.

I'm form Iran and GFW in my country is so advanced. (Specially it is even more restrictive due to the current conflict between Israel) Almost everything is blocked. TCP, UDP, HTTP(S) disguised cores like Xray. One of the exceptions is ICMP. SoftEther does support VPN over ICMP and I've successfully managed to implement it in Linux and Windows and the Physical Underlay Protocol is regarded as "VPN over ICMP" (However there is not a direct option to force it, It just switches to this ICMP mode if all other methods fails eventually).


So since VPN client pro is the only client which supports SoftEther, we'd appreciate it if you could implement VPN over ICMP so we can use it on our phones too.

If necessary, I could sned you the link to the corresponding VPN over ICMP documentation

Hi,

sorry but it is not possible to add it because the ICMP protocol requires a socket of type SOCK_RAW which can only be used with root privileges, but this app was specifically designed to work on stock devices without root privileges.
