[Mikrotik] PPTP VPN server configuration on Mikrotik

PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) Server is used to create a VPN connection for remote clients. It allows you to connect securely from a remote location (such as your home) to an LAN (Local Area Network) located in another location. PPTP servers are also known as Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN) servers. PPTP is preferred over other protocols because it is faster and it has ability to work on mobile devices.

Hi! Do you have a tutorial where all of the devices connected to Mikrotik Router goes thru the VPN? I'm looking for a way to achieve this. Thank you!

I have another problem. I use Winbox v.6.40. VPN is working now, but... One colleague from his IP connected to VPN, but me not. I tried to use two computers (W10, W7), two differen internet providers, but no success. I got this eror message "The remote connection was not made because the
attempted VPN tunnels failed. The VPN server might be unreachable. If this connection is attempting to use an L2TP/IPsec tunnel, the security parameters required for IPsec negotiation might not be configured properly.?" Why, ? Why he connects and I don't.

almost every PPTN server tutorial is missing to mention the firewall exception which needs to be added, otherwise it cannot work

Hi, in your video, the client has an empty gateway, when is connected to VPN. Can the connected client ping any other computer in the LAN? for example the LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 (so router is 192.168.1.1, a server is 192.168.1.2 another server is 192.168.1.3 a printer is 192.168.1.4 etc. So when the client connect to VPN gets an IP from the DHCP pool (192.168.2.XXX), so how can ping 192.168.1.XXX (servers & printer)? Thanks in advance for your help!!

I have got set for WAN four IP address for RDP. For VNP I have to add another, do I?

[ZenecadE]

Not working for me. No idea why or how to chech where the connection failure is. Connect from internet -> Huawei LTE (port forwarding configured) -> Mikrotik. I don't even know how to check if the connection is reaching the Mikrotik.

[rnsantana]

you do not have to create any firewall rules

Hi! what if pptp pool has different subnet that Lan ej:
192.168.1.0/24 = Lan (bridge eth1, 2, 3, 4)
10.1.1.0/24 = PPTP
how to ping?
the only solution I had was using cmd windows command writing add route manualy 🤯
sorry about my english.. regards from Argentina.

[makskkspm]

nothing about firewall... gre, 1723 etc.

[alanoranches]
