I know my way around the mikrotik slightly and I was wondering if it would be possible to use the cloud feature at the “office1” location to connect and be a part of the network of the virtual AP at the office two location.
I was thinking it would need to be a VPN but I wasn’t sure how to do this. Is it possible to take the VAP and connect to the office1 cloud DNS Name so that anything that attaches to the VAP has the IP range of 192.168.22.x? (I want anything that attaches to the VAP at office 2 to appear that it is at office 1) Or is there a better way to do this with the resources I already have?
Do you mean that you don’t have a static public IP or are you saying that your provider is giving you a private IP and masquerading multiple customers over their public IP’s?
To make connection between your Mikrotiks, with no additional equipment, minimum one of routers has to be accessible to the other with public IP. It means that your ISP on one of sides should make static natting which lets you to establish VPN between routers … read it as: should pass your VPN traffic to your router.
As stated in the wiki the cloud is a DDNS service. It determines your public IP address and sets a dynamic DNS record accordingly.
I know exactly what you are thinking. Barix audio devices have such a Feature but of course you pay for it since all communications are being routed through their network and to the devices.
As stated by BartoszP to accomplish a direct connection between your sites with your current configuration your ISP would have to essentially port forward the needed ports on at least one side for you to be able to form a connection.
You could also get a VPS or Dedicated server with a public static and connect each of the sites to the server with tunnels. Providing the server had enough bandwidth included for your needs it could work.
