OpenVPN clients not connecting

RouterOS General
1

Good day to everyone! I’ve got a question about setting of wi-fi router Microtik. hAP ac^2 arm.
Router OS: 7.7 Stable.
My network diagram is:

  • the provider gave me static ip 185.244.6.34.
  • internet connection is made with PPPoE protocol.
  • behind the router is located OpenVPN server (with the help of Pritunl). OS Ubuntu 20.04. I made static IP for OpenVPN server on Microtik 200.151.54.94.
    All clients connect by OpenVPN Connect from external internet.
    Port for OpenVPN is 9026, and it is opened as in Ubuntu, so in Microtik.
    All these I represented on the diagram:

Port was tested with the help of https://ping.eu/port-chk website:

I also checked port through telnet on Windows and android: telnet 185.244.6.34 9026.
Connection successful.
My problem is that none of clients (exept wi-fi router keenetic) can connect to OpenVPN server. Mistake code is approximately like this:

I attach configuration Microtik (config_bac.rsc).
Also I attach OpenVPN server configuration:

I draw your attention, couple of days ago it was wi-fi router Asus N300 instead of Microtik.
OpenVPN worked great for all clients.
What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance.

UPD
My connection doesn’t work from local net. But now it works from external net (I didn’t change the rules).
How to configure rules for local net for port to be open?
Command telnet 185.244.6.34 9026 gives an error (timeout) in local net

Your dstnat rule has options in-interface=pppoe-protocol-intercon and in-interface-list=WAN (both useless) and they limit from where it will work. Drop them and it will be better. And those 200.x.x.x addresses, did you also get them from ISP? If not, you shouldn’t use them and choose some from private ranges instead.

I removed in-interface and in-interface-lists. Port ping still doesn’t work from local net:

telnet 185.244.6.34 9026  .... connection refused

. Also, OpenVPN clients do not connect to an OpenVPN server on the local network.

I configured these addresses (DHCP).
In what are they bad?
Updated configuration attach.

Sorry, one more thing:

/ip firewall nat
add chain=srcnat src-address=200.151.54.0/24 dst-address=200.151.54.0/24 action=masquerade

And about those addresses, it’s just that they belong to someone else and it’s possible (even though not very likely) that some servers you’d want to access could be using the real ones, and you wouldn’t be able to access them. The right ones for private use are any from 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16.

Thank you so much! This rule works perfectly.

And yeah. I know about reserved addresses. I just thought that you mean something else :slight_smile: Of course, I 'l change addresses

How can I set up rules to allow a specific port to be open for the local network?

Have you find solution?
