Re: IPSEC/IKE2 (with certificates) VPN server guide for remote access

deanisus i have taken a look at you're config. It looks like you're VPN router is behind another router. Is it LTE, Fibre, Cable. What is connected to ether1 port? If you're Mikrotik router is behind another router that connects to the internet (a LTE based router or LTE based cpe from you're ISP fo...

Re: Lab: Configuring WAN interfaces/gateways

To connect the Mikrotik behind the existing router/switch all you need to do is setup the Mikrotik as a Bridge under Configuration in Quick Set. You can then add all the ports and wlans to the default bridge. After that all you need to is go to IP > DHCP Client and add in new DHCP Client with the fo...

Re: Does Mikrotik devices except MMS?

That was already done. Unfortunately we are talking about an near elderly person that is very ignorant about tech. It would be good though if Mikrotik can accept mms messages somehow. For I have learned here in South Africa, CellC is not the only network that sends OTP via mms to reset passwords. A ...

Sim is not locked. It is his login on cellc.co.za that is locked. He can't order LTE-A bundles if he locked out from that account.

Your network bridge is an L2 network router, LTE is L3 network switch probably being controlled by some router further in LTE protocol stack layers of your LTE provider, this is the reason why you don't bridge any port your internet is coming from if the source port is relaying L3 connections. You c...
