Re: CHR on azure for wireguard

Did you enable the IP Forwarding on the Mikrotik CHR VM NIC?

IP Forward.png
I didn't know about that before

After I kept failing I googled some more and enabled that, still did not work, so I rebooted the VM and went to sleep.

Will test more today.

Why do you use capsman on the hex, do you have a number of APs attached??
That's my personal one, yes, at home i have 2 CAP AC and 1 HAP AC2 for wifi. (overkill, but had them laying arround after some failed proyects).

There is no capsman where roadwarrior does not work tho.

The problem with CAPsMAN provisioned wireless network is that CAPs still autonomously select channels to operate (out of list of allowed channels provisioned by CAPsMAN) - unless you manualy configure provisioning rules for each CAP. If all CAPs do the frequency scans at the very same time (e.g. af...

Separate configs are for various devices you want to manage from CAPsMAN. Then you push the correct config to the device. E.g. 2,4GHz only config to older 2,4GHz only CAP. If all your CAP devices support the same standards you can have only one config. For cases when I want to force only AC on newe...
