Hello everyone
I want to access my router through winbox over the internet, so I setup a L2TP VPN on the router and wrote down the local IP that the VPN server gave the router and on the other device (on the internet), which is connected to the same VPN server and is within the same subnet trying to access the router with winbox but got the error that is saying the connection timed out.
P.S. I use the following rule in router /firewall nat and also I change the default winbox port.
Nat rule: add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat comment=“Remote winbox” disabled=no dst-port=
1111 log=yes log-prefix=“Remote winbox” protocol=tcp to-addresses=
192.168.88.1 to-ports=9999
I try to connect to router by using 192.168.5.6 (router IP on VPN server subnet):1111
Still the same even after adding the input rule for VPN interface.
Actually after adding the rule I got hit on the rule and packets count but still the same connection timed out error.

No pinging the private IP address of the router on the VPN subnet is not working.
P.S. Both of my devices (router - windows) are clients of a VPN server that I don’t have access to server (I think it’s Nord).
@gemesif
172.19.19.45 is the router I want to connect to. (was 192.168.5.6 but I change the VPN server so it’s 172.19.19.45 now)
Here you go:
with 172.19.19.45:
with Mikrotik /ip cloud DDNS:
with /ip cloud DDNS it’s not connecting to winbox too, but I had the same setup some where else but with static public IP and I could easily connect to the router with winbox.
“Network routes are required for the stack to understand which interface to use for outbound traffic. One of the most important decision points for VPN configuration is whether you want to send all the data through VPN (force tunnel) or only some data through the VPN (split tunnel). This decision impacts the configuration and the capacity planning, as well as security expectations from the connection.”
