A number of people have encountered the following error when they follow these instructions.

"Cipher negotiation is disabled since neither P2MP client nor server mode is enabled
Options error: On Windows, --ifconfig is required when --dev tun is used""

The fix is not what has been listed before like using the entire pathname to the files or an incorrect first line.

There is a missing line at the very top; simply put "client" as the very first line then everything else is fine. If you look carefully at the video, this line is there, and if you look at the author's comment below the video, you'll see it there concatenated with the file name.

It's an easy mistake to make (I did it) and equally easy to correct.

The rest of the tutorial worked fine for me

Nice tutorial. I have only one issue with the new version of OpenVPN. OpenVPN always gave an error with the private key, I solved it by changing the line "cipher AES-256-CBC" to "data-ciphers AES-256-CBC" in the config file.

Those guys who is facing internet issues after connecting to the VPN please add the following line in config file
"redirect-gateway def 1" (don't put inverted comma)

[pavelkraev]

You have mistake in your config google file. String 3. You need to put - between "proto tcp-client" otherwise it doesn't work!

[JAM-bflc]

beautiful tutorial, thank you very much and thanks again for sharing your knowledge

[foxiiiiik]

Good tutorial. I got it up and running. Now I can ping and connect to my Mikrotik OpenVPN Server from remote OpenVPN Client. But I am still unable to ping any address behind the Mikrotik router. Do I still need to configure something ?

[meronvlogz]

What do you do if your Mikrotik Router is the secondary router and you have to connect it to a primary router?

[diegkol]

On Connect I get error: "Connecting to management interface failed. OpenVPN log error Cipher negotiation is disabled since neither P2MP client nor server mode is enabled. On Windows, --ifconfig is required when --dev tun is used."
Solved:
In openvpn.ovpn full path to certs and secret needs to be entered like "C:\\Program . Also added line client.

[MuhammadFaysal]

please please make a tutorial on new (RouterOS 7) WireGuard VPN configuration like (A vpn provider to mikrotik router setup)

[Quettesh]

What about default firewall rules (configured when quick setup is used)? Is there any conflict?

[RodrigoLozada]

Asus routers create a single ovpn file with the cert information in itself. Anyone tried to create a single file like that by copying it from the certs?

[kellyojanomare]

i followed your step but it didnt automatically create openvpn folder on my desktop, what should i do? oris not working on mikrotik hex poe lite (mipsbe) ?
