simply write the vpn server address in the address field of winbox. this requires that your vpn service provider has a DNS name.

[cbadillo]

Thank you, I tried to do that but when I put the domain name in the vpn address it discover the IP address and I the domain disapear.

[sonny]

what is about DNS names for ipsec peers?
Does it work?

What happened to this product RB953GS-5HnT it has been listed for over a year now and I thought the last released date that was set was April 2014, which was a push back already from previous release dates that have been missed? When will this product be released?

I tried SSTP-Client behind a proxy. Two observations:

1. The proxy still has to be entered as ip address
2. Due to the proxy, the DNS resolution is not working locally. If you check with Packet Sniffer/Wireshark you identify that SSTP-Client is sending “CONNECT 0.0.0.0:443 HTTP/1.1”. I would expect “CONNECT vpn.server.com:443 HTTP/1.1” and let the proxy do the dns resolving.

Can anybody confirm?

ps: OpenVPN does not support proxy.
