I followed this tutorial to install SoftEther on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM using VirtualBox on my home "server" running W10. I'm having a few strange issues that much googling isn't quite solving. My guest is using bridged networking.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... -softether

The VPN works when using the SoftEther client software, but L2TP/IPSec and OpenVPN aren't working right.

- L2TP/IPSec: I can connect to the VPN (192.168.1.1 takes me to my router admin page), but DNS isn't working. If I input an IP address for a website I can access it but no DNS resolution is happening.
- OpenVPN: TLS handshake fails. I changed this port from default to 443.

Forwarded ports in both my router and host OS:
- UDP: 53, 500, 1701, 4500
- TCP: 443, 992, 5555

Where do I look next to pinpoint the problem?
