... Copy & convert the letsencrypt for SoftEther:

cd /etc/letsencrypt/live/vpn.gueldenpfennig.info

openssl pkcs12 -export -out vpn.gueldenpfennig.info.pfx -inkey privkey.pem -in  fullchain.pem
(No PIN!) 

The import of this certificate vpn.gueldenpfennig.info.pfx happens via the SoftEther Server-Manager.
