This document describes how to connect to a VPN Relay Server of VPN Gate by using the Microsoft SSL-VPN Client (VPN over HTTPS) which is bundled with the
operating system.
MS-SSTP (Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol) is a VPN protocol which is developed by Microsoft Corporation. It implements PPP over HTTPS (SSL). It
capsules all user packets on TCP. So it can pass the firewall easily. The bandwidth of SSTP is not so fast. The advantage of SSTP is; Windows Vista and later OS has a
built-in SSTP VPN client, and configuration of SSTP is very easy.
Alternative method
SoftEther VPN Client is recommended on Windows.
L2TP/IPsec Client configurations are difficult than SoftEther VPN Client.
If you are using Windows, using SoftEther VPN Client is recommended because it is very easy to configure and stable. SoftEther VPN Client can show the list of
currently running VPN Gate Servers on the software screen.
On this instruction, we use Windows 7 screens. Windows Vista and Windows 8 are similar, however there are a little number of changes.

Open the VPN Servers List page and choose a VPN Server which you want to connect.
Copy the "Hostname for SSTP Connection" (an identifier ends with ".opengw.net" or the port number) and paste it on the "Internet address" field on the
configuration wizard.
Note: You must specify the hostname as "xxx.opengw.net" (DDNS hostname). You cannot specify IP addresses directly. If the port number of the SSTP server is
not 443, you should append a suffix as ":port number" . Please make sure that you copy the "Hostname for SSTP Connection" (green-color fonts) exactly from
the VPN Servers List page.
If the username and password prompting screen appears, input "vpn" (3-letters) on both username and password field. You should check "Remember this
password" .

After you click "Next" , it will take 10 - 30 minutes to attempt to connect a VPN to the SSTP server.
If this is your first time to make a SSTP VPN connection, it might fail one or two times at the first attempt. If it fails, click the "Retry" to retry the connection. It seems a
bug of Windows.
If the VPN connection will be established, the following screen will appear.
If you cannot make a successful SSTP VPN connection, save the VPN connection and go to the property screen of the VPN connect. Open the "Security" tab, and select
SSTP on the "Type of VPN" dropdown box. If you fail again, try another SSTP VPN Server on the Servers List.

As the above figure, if the packet-path are through "10.211.254.254" , your communication is now relayed via one of VPN Gate Public VPN Servers.
You can also visit the VPN Gate Top Page to see your current global IP address. You can see your source country or region has been changed to other if you are
connecting to a VPN server which is located on oversea country.
