Re: CCR1036 Power Supply

IMHO CCR1009, 1016, 1036 and 1072 series all share the same board and all have the same problem - bad 680uFx6.3V capacitors, C1442, C143, C1613, C1617. First clue if they are failing is higher CPU temperature and slightly lowered voltage. We are replacing all 4 caps, not only bulged.

Re: Many PSU failures in CCR1036

However, it's even the other way around: ROS regulates fan speed (and thus air flow) according to temperature of CPU (and port area). But indirectly this also affects cooling of CPU (part of air does flow through PSU) and keeping fan speed low means higher temperature inside PSU. This will not work...

Quick answer is - yes, if you use second IP for webserver, you don't need hairpin-nat. And you don't need the internal DNS server point to DMZ IP, point it to external IP. Be sure to not use default masquerade, use src-nat to appropriate extarnal IPs instead.

I assume you have good reasons to take all this burden (registry tweaking or implementing my trick) rather than running the L2TP/IPsec directly on the outer Mikrotik.

Not related to connection problems, but You have very insecure firewall rules. In input chain You should block everything, allowing only needed inputs. Also, forward chain is empty.
