Program files are digitally signed by GlobalSign
Binary files include a countersignature by Symantec
Strong encryption protects data on public Wi-Fi networks
No account registration or subscription required

You can download and install the SoftEther VPN Client with the VPN Gate Client Plugin only once, then connect to available VPN Gate servers with a single click.

🌍 What Is VPN Gate & How Does It Work?

VPN Gate is a global academic experiment operated by volunteers around the world. Participants provide VPN servers that allow users to route their traffic securely through different regions.

Key characteristics of the VPN Gate network:

Volunteer-operated public VPN servers
No user registration required
Anonymous connections supported
Servers appear and disappear dynamically
Each server routes traffic to the Internet, masking your real IP address

Because servers are dynamic, availability and IP addresses may change over time.

🚀 Why Use SoftEther VPN Gate Client Plugin?

By connecting through VPN Gate servers, users can:

Enhance privacy by masking their real IP address
Encrypt traffic on unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks
Access online content as if connecting from another region
Use a VPN solution that can pass through many restrictive firewalls

Unlike many commercial VPN services, VPN Gate is completely free and does not require subscriptions or personal accounts.
