This is going far from the topic.
RouterOS v7 internal beta has OpenVPN UDP mode. Please wait until we release a public version and you will have it.

It is actual copy from actual changelog.

teaser:

Please stop posting multiple times, we see your one topic already.

OpenVPN UDP support is implemented in v7, which is currently in private alpha testing.

I have heard that it is very hard to work on, and nobody likes it for that. But OpenVPN UDP support has been made in v7.

OpenVPN UDP mode is already made in v7, but that is in very fragile Alpha right now. Public beta will come after a while.

The problem is integrating it with the rest of RouterOS, which caused us major problems. We are working on them, and will try to make UDP support in future.

no plans for that

any news with udp and openvpn soon ? I am now forced to use openvpn and would need to change routers on 4 or 5 locations if can't made that working.

Thank you in advance,
Dejan

The answer was clear - We will not make new OpenVPN features.

ssh is our own implementation

Thank for bringing up a thread more than a year old.

What about automatically locking topic after let say 6 months of inactivity?

not all topics get irrelevant after 6 months

eghtedari2000, OPENWRT is a different operating system, please ask in their forum about how to configure it:

No, it's certainly not the reason. I have previously already explained that there were many unfixed problems in the OpenVPN itself, so we have stopped development, and concentrated on more reliable projects like SSTP. We don't plan to make UDP support in OpenVPN in near future.

We will not drop it, we will fix what we can, and leave it as is. What I'm saying is, that we will probably not make UDP support.

+1 for UDP. OpenNMS requires UDP to monitor SNMP info ... I think you misunderstood what is not supported. OpenVPN tunnel can forward UDP packets or any other protocol packets without any problems. So you can easily ...

Another problem with it, client and server end must match configuration 100%. if you have different clients connecting, this will be a huge pain to get done. OpenVPN is hard to configure. Maybe not for you, but in comparison to our other options.

Why is Mikrotik ignoring all those request for UDP based OpenVPN and proposing and TCP VPN solution as an alternative ?

OpenVPN is very very buggy and hard to implement. Our developers almost all committed suicide trying to make it work. It's a big mess, so we can't continue to implement it 100%

We are about to release, it has numerous important fixes and improvements.

Maybe the difference is that I use beta3 ?

Practically (i am on a SSTP tunnel all the time now, for testing), I couldn't say there is a performance difference with or without the tunnel. Local network file transfers are just as fast.

We also have SSTP now, which works great and has the same benefits as OpenVPN. It's currently not popular yet, and (except RouterOS) it's supported only in Windows, but technically it's very interesting.

currently you can only make it work with user/pass. maybe we'll add a certificate-only mode in future versions.
