How to stop vpn server to edit server configuration?

Posted on July 1, 2016

Hi, I am totally new here. I installed a (softether) vpn server via privatepackets.io on a DigitalOcean droplet and wonder how to edit the vpn server configuration.

In the configuration file that I accessed via SFTP, it says:

“In prior to edit this file manually by your text editor, shutdown the VPN Server / Client / Bridge background service. Otherwise, all changes will be lost.”

How do I shutdown the VPN server? I have searched the web and couldn’t find an answer.

I am a total newbee, fascinated by the possibilities of using a VPS and eager to learn more. Any help is therefore highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
