OpenVPN Server on RouterOS v4.3 with no user/password?

[Pada]

Hi,

I it possible to run an OpenVPN server in RouterOS 4.3 with no username & password?

I’ve searched the forums and came across the following post. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me if all of the points mentioned below are true:

@KimaHg

…
1 ) username/password is always required
2 ) require-client-certificate can be enabled additionally but user/pw is still mandatory
3 ) udp is not supported
4 ) lzo is not supported
5 ) only CA cert file but not its private key should be imported to RouterOS (flag D, not KR)
6 ) only CA cert file should be set ca=yes
7 ) time synchronisation is required otherwise certs may be invalid
8 ) auth file (auth-user-pass) for client does only work if openvpn was compiled with --enable-password-save
…

I specifically don’t want to use username & password combination since I can’t use connect using a Windows client with OpenVPN running as a service. I have managed to connect to the VPN server (using TCP protocol, TAP interface & Certificates) when I ran the OpenVPN client in Windows using the GUI and manually entering the username & password.

I’m new to RouterOS, however I know enough about OpenVPN & routing stuff to help myself out of most situations.
I’m have a RB750G with RouterOS v4.3

Thanks in advance
Chris

No.

thanks for the lightening fast reply!

Do you perhaps have any idea if future releases would be able to host OpenVPN servers with a proper OpenVPN config that can push routes and go without user/password auth?

That question would best be posed to support@mikrotik.com as this is a community forum.
