Apparently I read your OP too diagonally and didn't see the obvious problems - the bridges. For VLAN to work properly, you need one bridge with all of the ports on which traffic will be tagged/untagged. Also, the VLAN interfaces shouldn't be members of the bridge(s). That's why before we continue, t...

That I'll contribute to address space overlapping - a very broad route which could apply to the remote subnet and to the L2TP one.

If the real source addresses of those who access Office A aren't of importance, add a masquerade rule for all traffic leaving out of the SSTP tunnel. Otherwise, you might want to look into policy based routing and mangling

TheCat12

Have you changed the default Winbox port? If so, edit the rules acceordingly because in theory they should work the way you've created and placed them

I'll have to disappoint you but I don't think the desired setup is possible with your device even though it's a very powerful one. The only one that will work in your scenario, to my knowledge, is the RB5009

I think adding a second Ethernet cable between R1 and R2 would simplify the configuration if possible.

Looking at the NAT masquerade rule, I assume you connect to the internet via PPPoE and some questions arise like: Do you have a default route pointing to it?

A bit off-topic but since this is the most viewed topic by MikroTik employees as of now, could somebody from the MikroTik Documentation editors correct the spelling of the following page title:

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... prevention

TheCat12

The solution would be to create the Virtual AP as you probably did, add it to a second bridge and after that continue configuring DHCP (the bridge will be the interface on which it should be running), firewall rules, etc.

TheCat12

How are Router 1 and Router 2 connected? Which router receives what address from the other one as de facto WAN? An export of the configuration of one or both routers would be quite helpful:

Could you post an export of your config and one of the IPsec logs?

export file= anynameyouwish (minus sensitive info)

Not that I expect it to be the problem, but could you add the following firewall rules somewhere in the beginning:

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=1723
add action=accept chain=input protocol=47

TheCat12

There is a small hack to use /31 addresses - one address to be the local address and the remote one to be specified as the network. For example, site 1 - address=192.168.1.0 & network=192.168.1.1, site 2 - address=192.168.1.1 & network=192.168.1.0

TheCat12

Port 8080 of the dst-nat rule is a reserved port for other use, so change it to a more obsolete one (e.g. 17680)

This makes it sound like it would switch to the second server if pihole goes down but then not switch back when it comes back online as 1.1.1.1 will still be online.

For the love of God and your router, please do not use PPTP! It is obsolete, deprecated and insecure! At least use L2TP over IPsec. And please update your router to either 6.49.17 or 7.x

May I assume that the mANTBox should receive internet on ether1 via DHCP? If that's the case, remove all DHCP server related configuration (/ip pool, /ip dhcp-server, /ip dhcp-server network). If the Mikrotik connects to the internet via the same port otherwise, just remove it from the bridge

TheCat12

I replicated the setup and everything works as expected. Maybe it's worth opening a ticket to MikroTik support because it could be a bug

TheCat12

In this case neither firewall rules and routes, nor use-ip-firewall=yes is needed because a blank firewall allows everything by default, dynamic routes are added when you add an address to an interface and the traffic is not between two bridged ports

TheCat12

Perhaps you have a typo in the ether1 address?

TheCat12

I think it's due to the usage of action=masquerade , which can cause leakages in your scenario, instead of action=src-nat , which in your case is the preferred way because the IP of the router is static: /ip firewall nat add action=src-nat chain=srcnat to-addresses=192.168.6.1 out-interface=ether2 A...

TheCat12

Unfortunately I'm out of options. That's why I'll once again ask @sindy to have a look at your case

TheCat12

Since your Mikrotik is currently acting as a switch, you won't be able to perform routing with it. You'll have to configure a DHCP server and deal with double NAT or find another Mikrotik (e.g. hAP ac²) and put it in place of your home router, if possible and your budget allows it, because you'll ha...

TheCat12

Because you're dealing with Layer3 traffic you would have to add the bridge interface as a tagged port to the appropriate bridge VLAN table entry:

vlan-ids=10

TheCat12

Now that I think of it, the problem may be that ether24 is in the same broadcast group as the VLAN, yet it has a different IP from the rest of the subnet, of which the router couldn't know, hence no src-nat. That's why you should remove the port out of the bridge, assign it the 192.168.19.41 address...

Easiest way would be to create a routing table, add a default route with gateway the OVPN to it and use routing rules: /routing table add fib name=through_VPN /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway="OVPN_interface" routing-table=through_VPN /routing rule add action=lookup-only-in-tabl...

May I inquire what the component is that is sending broadcast messages and why the broadcast messages should be limited only to a specific Ethernet port and, by that, src-natted?

TheCat12

No need, I could answer that with ease - leave the WAN interface out of the equation, i.e. remove it from the bridge and remove all VLAN configurations from and associated with it. If you do that, all of your VLANs will have by default internet access which you can then limit with the help of firewa...

Unfortunately, I can't tell what the problem could be but I can think of a temporary/permanent solution - setting up VLANs after you undo the port isolation. In your case, it could be done from the same menu, from which you set up port isolation, to take advantage of hardware offloading. The VLANs w...

TheCat12

In the dst-nat rule you haven't specified dst-address (i.e. your static public IP), against which the packets should be matched so that their destination address is accordingly translated. Also, port 22 is SSH, so you better change your dst-port (the more obscure, the better)

One way would be to use a DNS record - for example the one from IP/Cloud, which you could add in an address list and use dst-address-list instead of a dst-address. Another way is the one you mentioned - create a DHCP lease script. There is no better or worse way

Perhaps it is missing NAT?

I'd suggest using IPsec policies on both routers - on local router policies with src-address the streaming devices, which should be routed through the tunnel, and on the remote router the other way around.

Maybe to better understand what you try to achieve a simple network diagram would be needed. Also, does VLAN 30 arrive at the Mikrotik as .1Q tunnel and which are/should be its inner VLANs?

One of the problems may be that your LAN network's addresses overlap with those handed out by the Starlink because, if I remember correctly, it is CGNAT. Nevertheless, an export of the config is advisable for us to be able to help you:

TheCat12

Although it "doesn't exist from source" as you refer to it, it does get introduced by being set as vlan-id in /interface bridge vlan and/or pvid in /interface bridge port, depending on the role of the port, and the VLAN tag begins being added/stripped after enabling vlan-filtering

TheCat12

For option 1 I disagree that there is a need for a VLAN200 interface because the VLAN should operate only on L2, no L3 needed. That's why I omitted it from my config

Isn't there a src-address option in the /radius menu?

A side question - why do you use a public IP (170.x.x.x) for LAN?

TheCat12

Ok then, first you'll create a bridge with all ethernet ports except ether1 in it (for the config I'll assume all ports are ether1-5), then create a VLAN interface for VLAN 20 and configure IP addresses and DHCP settings for it. After that you'll fill in the Bridge VLAN table and enable vlan-filteri...

So VLAN 20 is for the "normal" internet, I assume? And the DHCP server for it would be the Mikrotik?

TheCat12

TheCat12

There is an easier hairpin NAT rule:

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... HairpinNAT

No need of mangle whatsoever

P.S. You shouldn't consider the 192.168.1.0 network for the hairpin NAT rule because the web server is not part of it

1) Yes, because this is a whole other method which has nothing to do with the switch one 2) It is advisable for ether2 to be on a seperate bridge even though it is one port 3) Yes, but you could limit the traffic from VLAN 20 to the other VLANs if it's necessary from the firewall: /ip firewall filte...

TheCat12

The explanation is that your router most probably acts at the moment as a switch (I assume all ports are bridged together for the computers to get an IP address from the same range as the WAN).

Quite an easy fix with precisely a firewall rule: /ip firewall filter add action=drop chain=forward dst-address=192.168.18.0/24 src-address=192.168.1.0/24 I would suggest also adding a rule that prevents access to the slave antenna from the guest network: /ip firewall filter add action=drop chain=in...

Actually there might be a way - if you create a bridge on the slave antenna as per instructions on how to create a PtP link, fix the mode of the W60G interface to station-bridge , assign to the bridge only the W60G interface and add static address and default route for the bridge, then it might work...

TheCat12

I think it won't be possible to separate the subnets on the antenna, but rather on the access point because the antennas act as a wireless extension of the ISP modem subnet and also don't have enough interfaces to do routing on them. That's why you should make the AP the DHCP server

The exact rule you mentioned is to be used but with a minor tweak - an added connection-nat-state=!dstnat This way only resources with a dstnat rule would be accessible from the guest LAN
