Lets start with the server side (the CRS 125-24G-1S), on here we need to set it up for L2TP connections along with configuring the firewall to allow such connections and also we need to configure the server to supply the VPN with valid IP addresses (can set a single static entry if required). (all instruction and images in this HowTo are derived from RouterOS Version 6.19)
Part 2 will focus on setting up a secure VPN with IPSec to a MikroTik from a mobile IOS or Android and a computer with Windows/OSX/Ubuntu based operating systems.įor Part 1 of this HowTo i will be using a CRS 125-24G-1S as my home router and VPN server and mAP as my remote MikroTik router, the goal of this HowTo is to establish a SECURE connection back home (or in the office) in order to access Home/Office resources/services and also bypass restrictions and vulnerabilities that may be imposed by unfamiliar internet connections. Part 1.5 can be found here which focuses on Mikrotik to Mikrotik IPsec VPN.
This is part 1 of a VPN HowTo to aid in the set up of secure VPN services on Mikrotik Devices, in part 1 I will focus on basic set-up and MikroTik to MikroTik secure VPN.
