Hi,
Please help since I do not know how to resolve this.
I have two homes, A and B, both with a Mikrotik CPE (One with HaP AC2, one with HaP AC3+LTE (RBD53GR-5HacD2HnD)).
It always works from the AC2 site towards AC3, but it doesn’t work from AC3 towards AC2.
When trying the second, the VNC connection just times out. If I disconnect from wireless (but also tried wired) and connect to my phone’s Mobile Hotspot, it works like a charm from the same computer. Also from the phone, where I have an Android VNC app, its the same - works through the mobile network, NOT from the AC3 wireless.
I do know a bit or two about routers, but not so much - and no matter how much I’ve looked through the WebFig menus I can’t seem to understand what is the matter, why this happens.
Can you please help?

Does either router get a public IP (static or dynamic) or do both get private IPs from the upstream device.
Both routers get public IP (not fixed, but public) from actually the same provider, using PPPOE.
I use no-ip DDNS, not setup on the mikrotiks since this is… complicated - but on other devices.
Looking back, this should probably be moved to the “General” forum.
Here is a dump of my AC3 configuration:

No, it isn’t, that is only a part of it.http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/forum-rules/173010/1

/interface list member
Should be/interface list member
Why do you have two addresses assigned to the bridge??/ip address
3 All your port forwarding dstnat rules are missing in-interface-list=WAN
Thank you so much anav, the issue is now solved!
To answer each point:
I have a LTE backup on this and at some point it was important to have two WAN interfaces with LTE as fail-over. At that point I fumbled through the menu, probably made these changes.
This has nothing to do with the current situation. I needed it in the past because of some cameras I installed in my LAN that were having default IP’s from that class. Now as you can see I have disabled=yes for the second class.
Added in-interface-list=WAN for all the dstnat rules.
Now it works!
Thank you once more.
