Hello,
I followed CAREFULLY the Mikrotik Tutorial 19 for the configuration of my router.
I want to establish a connection from my Samsung smartphone. I defined a VPN on it:
name: Office
Server address: the internet address of my Mikrotik router
Password: the password defined in the quick set for the vpn
I try to connect. I have the message “connection …” during 30 seconds and the message “fail”.
One (among others) firewall rule was created: allow pptp port 1723. I setup the Log checkbox.
NAT masquerade network 192.168.89.0/24 I also setup the Log checkbox.
I try again to connect. I read a message in the log:
TCP connection established from …
input in: combo1 out(unknown 0), src-mac …, proto TCP (SYN) , …
The connection process seems to be correct.
In PPP > Active Connections it is empty ???
What could be wrong (if it is !)
Shall I do something during the “connexion …” message on my smartphone ?
Does the tutorial correct ?
My knowledge in VPN is very limited …
Thank you by advance,
Is this router the one with the public IP address on it? if its not you will need to set /ip cloud advanced use-local-address=yes ALSO if you are using a GRE biased tunnel its your in for a bad time if the router is behind a nat like that. Are you able to send through a export of your config using export hide-sensitive from the terminal?
Yes, the public address is unique.
I don’t undertand your question … beginner basics forum → give me the command please
I changed in my smartphone the vpn config: I setup .sn.mynetname.net instead of the public address as the address server: nothing changed
Note 1: PPP > interface: empty !?
Note 2: I tried to log the pptp topic
In resume I have:
scc request
scc reply
rcvd outgoing call
lcp lowerup
lcp open
outgoing call reply
— a loop of following messages during 30 seconds —
sent lcp conreq (mru,asyncmap,magic, …)
rcvd lcp conreq
— after 30 seconds —
lcp lowerdown
ccp close
bcp close
ipcp close
ipv6cp close
mplscp close
Note 3: The ip address of the smartphone is static (fixed)
I guess the Mikrotik Tutorial 19 is not anymore up to date and that I must read the wiki or if you can give me references …
Note that I have installed the 6.44.3 OS version.
Apple (iPhone, etc) have dropped support for pptp vpn a while ago due to pptp not being secure, not even allowing it on passthrough, maybe Samsung followed same process.
Will be a good idea if you used another VPN type anyway, one that is more secure, i.e. L2TP/IPSec, etc
