Mikrotik client OpenVPN

Hello guys, sorry for this message, but I need some help to config an OpenVPN on a Mikrotik.

I have this scenario: one machine ( Linux ) is the OpenVPN server. I need to connect my Mikrotik to this server.

I see many documentations about the configuration of Mikrotik as a VPN server.

But i don’t find any documentations about Mikrotik configuration to connect as a client on a OpenVPN server.

Anyone config this scenario on a Mikrotik and Linux ?

Thanks for your help.

openvpn is not working in routeros…hope to be in future versions…

Openvpn use SSL for make a vpn with tun/tap device. RouterOS support only IPSec VPN.
I don’t like so much RouterOS, without a shell you are limited. There are many functions ok, but I have 128MB of NAND Flash, I would like install many software on it, openvpn could be one.

After my post I read this thread http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/is-there-any-chance-to-set-up-this-ovpn-conf-in-routeros/59782/1
so OpenVPN is supported by RouterOS, but only TCP connection no UDP.

I’d guess it’s possible to make work. [Though I’ve never done so.]

I assume you have done some searches here to see other’s experiences, and helpful tips?

Some things to keep in mind, if you didn’t already know.

No LZO compression supported on MTK
No UDP OpenVPN tunnel type, only TCP.

There are numerous other issues that are “odd” in MTK’s OpenVPN.


Have you turned on logging for OpenVPN and reviewed the logs for OpenVPN errors?
If so, what do you find?

Plus you can’t do proper X509 certificate authentication, as routerOS wants login/pwd so badly.
I tried to implement openvpn server on RB for a hour or so, then I gave up. Took me 15 mins to get a linux ovpn server up, even less on openwrt.

Openvpn isn’t work on routeros ?
