I recently updated my router to RouterOS version 7.17.2 from version 7.11. Following the update, I’ve encountered an issue where the Hotspot login page fails to appear automatically on devices when the L2TP VPN is enabled. This problem did not occur prior to the update.
Current Configuration:
• Interfaces:----
• PPPoE: Main uplink
• L2TP VPN: Configured for bypassing
• Routing:----
• 0.0.0.0/0 → PPPoE (Distance: 20)
• 0.0.0.0/0 → L2TP VPN (Distance: 2, Routing Mark: Bypass_Mark)
• Firewall:----
• Mangle Rule:
• Chain: Prerouting
• Source Address List: 10.10.10.10-10.10.10.100
• Destination Address: [!]/NOT 10.10.10.0/24
• Routing Mark: Bypass_Mark
• Passthrough: No
• Network Services:----
• DHCP Server and Hotspot Server: Running on a bridge interface with the address range 10.10.10.0/24
• Hotspot Captive Portal: 10.10.10.1
Issue Description:
When the L2TP VPN is active, devices do not automatically display the Hotspot login page. However, when the L2TP VPN is disabled, the Hotspot functions as expected, and the login page appears without issue.
