Feature request: OpenVPN compression LZO and UDP

Please give an official response - will support this functionality in the future, and when to wait for implementation?
Vidut work or planning?

EdgeMax supports OpenVPN, and specifically UDP in OpenVPN. I think they support ALL of the OpenVPN options.


PPTP was also developed in part by Microsoft, and is still one of the most popular tunnels today (despite it’s obsoletefullness)

Tried someone use OpenVPN from OpenWRT in metarouter?

Sorry, OT, I know…

We use openvpn for video and VoIP and still don’t understand why Mikrotik won’t implement full OpenVPN (with udp etc) if other distributions can? RouterOS is great, but we don’t buy it right now!!!

So for our salesteam it is in short: no full openvpn, no mikrotik!!!

Let the user make the decision if he wants to use udp / or tcp, don’t make the decision for us!!!

We currently use TP-Link 1043s to run OpenWRT as OpenVPN clients. We run VOIP on top of this.

I just brought a RB750GL and was hoping to switch to Microtik for the above, but without OpenVPN UDP support that’s not going to happen.

Wish I’d have spotted it wasn’t possible before buying the router :slight_smile:

what the developer/support team does is not about anything but not caring/listening to user voices

I suspect that OpenVPN LZO compression isn’t offered the due to the compression time for the MIPS processors in the most of the MikroTik routers.

I’d expect ~50Mbits/s max, as we see around 200Mbit/s on an ARM Cortex-A9:

That said, MikroTik could use the optimised LZO kernel implementation (it’s portable and standalone). Enabling OpenVPN LZO it is just an option when building it, so it’s a no-brainer with the caveat that throughput may be worse. This is a crucial feature though.

+1 for udp protocol. I need to run a pfsense machine for openvpn over udp connected to my mikrotik core router

+100500 for UDP.
It is impossible to use TCP for VoIP (many IP-phones have built-in OpenVPN client) or on slow/unreliable connections.
I was very confused when found that Mikrotik does not support OpenVPN over UDP.

By the way, there is a mistake in OpenVPN wiki page, you can find proto udp in example configs.

+1 for UDP and route pushing

Comrades, I have the same problem as you - I Use mikrotik OpenVPN but it podderdivaet the old is not going smoothly and obnovlyat.V therefore taken the decision to replace the entire equipment with its troubled 6th version.

We are a manufacturer can not hear, alas. :smiling_imp:

Single and only solution is to use MetaRouter and install OpenWRT/OpenVPN for such functionalities.

Mikrotik said it few times: they will never increase number of functionalities or concentrate any effort on OpenVPN implementation.

Time to initiate the grieving process and forget about it.

I CCR and there no MetaRouter!

Alternatives OpenVPN no, sorry that mikrotik your opinion puts up user opinions!
Alas, but apparently mikrotik extinguished.

The manufacturer is not pralniruet prislushatsyak our opinion, and you want us to add features? I really need it!
Please reply to the official the last time that the representative would just finish this conversation.
