Built-in SoftEther VPN Server HTML5 Ajax-based Web Administration Console We are developing the HTML5 Ajax-based Web Administration Console (currently very limited, under construction) in the embedded HTTPS server on the SoftEther VPN Server. Note: Your HTML5 development contribution is very appreciated. The current HTML5 pages are written by Daiyuu Nobori (the core developer of SoftEther VPN). He is obviously lack of HTML5 development ability. Please kindly consider to contribute for SoftEther VPN's development on GitHub. Your code will help every people running SoftEther VPN Server. Built-in SoftEther Server VPN JSON-RPC API Suite The API Suite allows you to easily develop your original SoftEther VPN Server management application to control the VPN Server (e.g. creating users, adding Virtual Hubs, disconnecting a specified VPN sessions). You can access to the latest SoftEther VPN Server JSON-RPC Document on GitHub. Almost all control APIs, which the VPN Server provides, are available as JSON-RPC API. You can write your own VPN Server management application in your favorite languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, Ruby, C , ... etc.) If you are planning to develop your own VPN cloud service, the JSON-RPC API is the best choice to realize the automated operations for the VPN Server. No need to use any specific API client
