MikroTik - L2TP Configuration

In this video we will be going over what L2TP is and how to create an L2TP server on a MikroTik router as well as connecting as an L2TP client to the server. This is a hands-on lab with explanations as well as tips on things to avoid when creating L2TP connections.

damn this is a good tutorial, btw, can l2tp client get an internet connection ? if so what kind of configuration should i use? should i configure some firewall on the l2tp server or something?

1.basically, when connecting more than 1 remote site-mikrotik router via l2tp tunnel, you MUST assign 2 profiles with different WAN IP addresses on Mikrotik that acts as a l2tp server (in this case 10.1.0.1 and 10.1.0.3 ) for them to be able to connect properly? Could you just assign 10.1.0.1 as local address for both sites or that would not work? Also do you need to assign those static routes in mikrotik l2tp server or would the mikrotik server learn the route automagically when they connect for the first time? 2. When creating l2tp client connection from mikrotik clients can you enter dynamic dns name associated with your ISP given IP that changes every 24 hours in Dial Out Connect To setting? 3. Also when you set the DNS options on server or client side when configuring stuff, can you set split dns somehow, so the remote clients use mikrotik l2tp server as dns server when in comes to local vpn lan queries and use google public dns when they are browsing the web on that remote location? Hopefully i made sense with my questions :) Great work Berg, keep them coming.

Hi,
1. Is it possible to configure Microtic as Openvpn-client to a Openvpn-server installed on Ubuntu machine?
2. If yes, then how is it possible to make Mikrotik read its Openvp-client configurations from .ovpn file?
3. Would you please create a video for that purpose, the goal is to use Mikrotik as the encrypted GW for all clients that are connected to it and rout to internet through the Openvpn-server 🙃

Hi Berg,
I have an l2tp server so i have two sites
One site is public and the another is local
So i wanna access the local of public site
Btw from mikrotik i can access the public site i have ping on them but i can’t reach it via pc also
I’ve created nats and routes but didn’t work

Is it secure to use l2tp without IPsec?

[bucharestcartraffic]

can you also make one with investigating why packets might not be routed correctly and how to solve ?

Wtf man..why you didn't explain where you cfg external ip on wan intf..20min video..but not add this..why..tunnel without it not up..

[jimmertzos]

from all your guides this was the worst one.... you dont explain anything import this is only a lab scenario!
