Notification for new DHCP leases [SOLVED]

Hello guys, I found only one similar question in the forum, but without any replies of it. All my devices in the network have statically assigned DHCP leases. Still, there is a pool of 5 addresses available if new devices connect to the network accidentally. Is there any mechanism I can configure so...

Re: OVPN WITH 3 SITES

SInce Head Office <-> Branch 1 and Head Office <-> Branch 2 are working fine I assume the following: - you need to add routing at Branch 1 for Branch 2 via the VPN - you need to add routing at Branch 2 for Branch 1 via the VPN. That is all. And yes, it is better if you connect Branch 1 and Branch 2 ...

Re: OpenVPN client IP spoofing - it is possible. What are the mitigations? [SOLVED]

@sindy, thank you for confirming what I've discovered and was worrying me: a legitimate VPN user to start messing around. A guy from the scripting section of the forum pointed me out that in every ppp profile there are many options to be used so that the ppp interface is dynamically added to an inte...

Re: Using OVPN with MS certificate store

Adrian , yes, it is not a RouterOS topic, but I also became interested so thank you.

In your reply, do you mean that you installed a the personal cert in the certification store, but the CA is still in a file and you pointed that file in the ovpn config?

Re: Does find command distinguish small and capital letters [SOLVED]

I feel so lame. I spent hours on debugging a script to add/remove interfaces from a list your last post made me flash for a moment. It could have been so simple. Thank you. Another way to do it was given to my by the support: On-up: :local interfaceName [/interface get $interface name] /interface li...

Re: In /ppp profile on-up script the $interface variable is with small letters [SOLVED]

It turns out that the difference in the naming (small, capital letters) is known thing. In order for ppp on-down script to work well the support offered me this idea: toid $interface I tested it and works great. I would prefer not to explain it because I have only an assumption how it works. For me ...

Re: Does find command distinguish small and capital letters [SOLVED]

Do you have any ppp interfaces? Can you add manually via winbox an interface to a test list. Then disconnect the interface and show a /interface list member print.

I did the test below and I can confirm that spoofing is possible and works very well. (Please, correct me if "spoofing" is not the right term for this.) 1. From a Win10 PC with an OpenVPN client I connected to my VPN router. I got the address 10.11.12.101 (the one statically assigned for u...

Re: In /ppp profile on-up script the $interface variable is with small letters [SOLVED]

The code you offered me I am already using it. The $interface variable (when used in ppp-up or ppp-down script) returns the interface id starting with small letter -> *f00001 But when I print an interface lists members then the interface ids are shown starting with capital letter -> *F00001 To me th...

Re: Does find command distinguish small and capital letters [SOLVED]

Thank you for taking time to reply to my question.

I am talking about interface id. When used in terminal command find works well no matter if the interface id starts with capital or small letter. When used in a script it requires only capital letters. This is my problem.

Am I doing something wrong with the find command or this is how it works? Example 1: Here the find command works as expected. It removes an interface from an interface list, based on interface id /interface list member remove [ find interface=*f00020 ] * the interface id starts with a small letter) ...
