Hello Everyone
I configured PPTP from guide on youtube not just one but many videos but I am unable to connect to PPTP server on Mikrotik server.
I am receiving the following error . Please check the screenshot. I dont have any firewall rules.
Not an answer to your question, but you should not use PPTP. Old and not secure at all.
Change to some like L2TP IPSec.
There are a lot of reasons why you could get that error from the Windows VPN client but I won’t go in to those in this post.
You stated that you don’t have any firewall rules but, from my experience, you will need at least 2 rules for PPTP VPN to work (even if the MikroTik is the VPN server). Those rules are:
/ip firewall filter add chain=input dst-port=1723 protocol=tcp comment=”PPTP VPN”
/ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=gre comment=”PPTP VPN”
NB: These rules need to be moved high in the list (i.e.: a low order number) so that they are no overriden by other rules.
