Good morning everyone, from a beginner in advanced networking and in Mikrotik.
In the need of adding a (more) powerful VPN to my network, I have been advised by a friend to buy a hex (RB750GR3).
I currently have a PPPoE connection from my ISP (100d/100u Mbps), entering the house as an ethernet socket, and I have connected to that an ASUS wireless Router, configured for my home use.
Currently I have a VPN working via the embedded function of the ASUS, using OVPN protocol and a DDNS, since the ISP-side IP is dynamic.
What I intend to do is create an L2TP IPsec VPN network, with two main purposes: NAS access and bandwidth, as well as protection in browsing from public networks.
I have the latest SW version on the HEX, but I am unable to find a complete tutorial on the web/youtube compatible with this sw version.
I managed to put it before the router, set it as router, successfully create the PPPoE conection (migrated from the ASUS), and locally everything works well.
In terms of creating the VPN, I have done the following (in this order):
- Enable from PPP the L2TP server.
- Created IP Pool
- Create from PPP a new Profile for the VPN. And here I came across the first problem: which local address should I use?
- Created the secret from PPP - Secrets, with l2tp service and the profile created at point 3.
And from here on, I’m lost. The tutorial I am using as a reference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeSgOurbkr8) enters a “Peer” section that to me, looks nothing related to what is shown.
What shall I do next?
Thanks in advance for the help!
