NetWatch with VPN and PPPOE

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello I am new in the RouterOs but we use a lot now and some problem come up.

I got a VPN connection between a Mikrotik and pfSense.
The Mikrotik has a dynamic IP provided via a PPPOE connection.

Everything work fine but some time the VPN stop so I want to monitor it and run a Script when the remote vpn network stop responding. At this time I run the script with a scheduler so a lot of restart for nothing.

I successfully setup the Netwatch with the script on my test lab but the same setup dont work in prod…

The Only difference is the PPPOE, in my test lab its a cable modem with a DHCP.

I setup the route the same way but on the PPPOE I cannot Ping the remote VPN network, so the Netwatch dont work…

Any advice on the route setup?

Thanks

Hello,

Just add a route dst-address=remote_subnet Gateway=bridge-local. Your Netwatch will work.

Its exactly what I do, but on the router with the PPPOE the route dont work.

Maybe I need something else in the route config?

ICMP is authorized…

On the router that receive IP from ISP via DHCP everything work with the route setup.
But on the PPPOE router the Netwatch dont work with the route.
