Hi everyone,
Hope I will be not too much off topic…
Did anyone successfully connected from the router to PureVPN using L2TP/IPsec or OVPN?
They provide steps for PPTP but I don’t want to use this protocol and I am struggling with setting up the two mentioned above.
Could anyone who successfully did it, help me, please?
Thanks!!
I think they do have guides for IPsec:
https://support.purevpn.com/how-to-setup-purevpn-l2tp-manually-on-mac
and the RouterOS manual should give you some ideas where to apply this in RouterOS:

Hi normis,
Thanks for your repsonse!
These guides were the first thing I followed trying to set it up - but keep failing with “NO-PROPOSAL-CHOSEN”…
Just wanted to ensure - as there are guides how to setup on OSX and WIN, is there any reason why it should not work on Mikrotik? - is there some difference in the client making it possibly impossible or when it works from win, it will simply work from mikrotik as well and all I need is just to carefully config?
Thanks!
It means that the phase2 settings do not match between the peers. You will need to adjust them on the MikroTik to match what PureVPN has set on their side of things. Since their guide is showing Windows and Mac, chances are they are using the default built in ones that Windows uses.
