I'd get an RJ45 socket with a metal shield, that can be soldered to. Drill out the board (eg a pilot hole filed to make it rectangular) to leave a space for the pins to poke through without touching anything. Solder the shield to the copper traces (with enlarged holes if necessary) so that it's mechanically secure. Then run short wires from each pin to the relevant copper track. Once it's electrically OK and mechanically secure, fill in the hole with epoxy to stop anything snapping later.

well drill the veroboard then
The amount of work some peple go to to avoid doing any work...
TAKE ANY RJ45 SOKET. SOLDER WIRES TO IT. INSERT WIRES IN BOARD GLUE SOCkET ONTO BOARD WITH EPOXY.
SHEESH.

suitable tracks
But the OP wants to connect 8 wires - hence the RJ45 discussion.
So why are you blathering on about a 25 way D type?
A 9 way D works - and that's all that was needed.

But you appeared to be replying to the post about "I have the same problem with D-type connectors". :-)
However, as the OP, I agree a 9-way D-type would be a reasonable solution for my requirement. Not quite so neat or easy to put a D-type plug onto my cable but not too bad.
Thanks for the idea.
