I am very new to Mikrotik and only have entry/mid level knowledge of openVPN.
We have a Watchguard at work that uses on openVPN variant for their SSL VPN option. I have it working perfectly but I have a few employees with Windows RT devices that do not support VPN software. I picked up a basic Mikrotik unit to test using it as the VPN client.
In just a few minutes I had it setup and connected. (too bad it doesn’t support openVPN over UDP)
I was able to ping across the link without issue but I am unable to communicate by name even though the DNS is being assigned to my test computer automatically as the 3rd and 4th DNS entry.
Work:
DG 172.16.4.0/24
DNS .11 .12 (Windows Domain controllers)
vpn clients are put onto 192.168.115.x
Home:
Comcast modem direct to Asus router 192.168.5.0/24 and it connects to WAN of mikrotik 192.168.88.0/24
client gets the following 4 DNS entries in this order. All pingable.
192.168.88.1
192.168.5.1
172.16.4.11
172.16.4.12
I followed the settings here: https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/articles/204558497-Mikrotik-Client-Setup
I did try specifying the DNS on the client without success.
Any idea why I can only access resources by IP? (tested ping and RDP to my work desktop without issue by IP)
PS the configuration is 100% stock except for securing the wireless SSID, uploading the openVPN .ovpn file, and the openvpn client settings.
