This should work in concept. The only issue I can forsee is if the upstream client router (Time warner, netgear, etc) blocks the VPN connection. On some routers you have to explicitly allow VPN passthrough.

Re: NAT question - multiple public IP use on one subnet.

Those rules look correct to me, however it may have something to do with the order in which they are entered.

You could try moving your DST-NAT entry above masquerade and see if that helps. You may also want to specify an "in-interface" for that rule.

You can do this, however you need to create src-nat rules with action=srcnat for each public IP address you want to use. These need to sit ABOVE the masquerade rule.

I have it deployed in two locations right now. We use it internally in two instances, one for each of our routers at each end of our network. If router A fails, traffic destined to that gateway goes to router B. If router B fails, traffic to router A, etc. It works as expected and I have not encount...

Re: (Bug) Winbox isn't showing LCD menu option for RB2011U1A

This is not fixed. I am running 6.7 and downloaded a fresh copy of Winbox and the LCD screen is missing in action.

Update: added supout for support.

Re: Hairpin NAT

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have hairpin NAT configured like shown in the wiki ( see here ) and this was working fine in prior versions of routerOS, however in v6rc1 the rule does not catch any traffic. Are there any alternative rules I could try that would achieve the same result? Thanks!

Re: RouterOS v6 release candidate 1

Can anyone confirm if hairpin NAT is functional in 6.0rc1? My implementation (per the Wiki) was fully functional in 5.19, however it no longer works in 6.0rc1.

Hairpin NAT

Is hairpin NAT confirmed working in rOS 6? It seems to be broken on my installation of rc1. I've disabled all firewall rules and mangle rules to try to see if it was being blocked or filtered somewhere else, but I cannot get it to function as it had been in 5.x and prior.
