OVPN Client Help

Hey guys,

First of all I love the router - it’s super powerful and is amazing.
I’ve been setting up a few tunnels and marking specific ip’s via different tunnels (only L2TP so far with PIA).

I stumbled upon an OVPN Client setup guide here: https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/articles/204558497-Mikrotik-Client-Setup and thought wow! that’s super simple so I downloaded an OpenVPN manual setup pack from CyberGhost (my second VPN) and proceeded to import the certificates and follow the guide.




I get to the end and discover that no matter what I do - the OVPN client wont open up to the destination server on port 443 (their UDP setup) - only port 80 (their TCP setup) and when it does connect on port 80 - it wont Rx any data back (image below)

An example of the connect/disconnect loop I see in logs is here:

The only thing I can think that could be wrong is some firewall/NAT rules.

PPP view and OVPN Client Dial Out tab.

The contents of the ovpn file are as follows

client
remote 1-au.cg-dialup.net 443
dev tun 
proto udp
auth-user-pass

dhcp-renew 
dhcp-release

resolv-retry infinite 
redirect-gateway def1
persist-key
persist-tun
nobind
cipher AES-256-CBC
auth MD5
ping 5
ping-exit 60
ping-timer-rem
explicit-exit-notify 2
script-security 2
remote-cert-tls server
route-delay 5
tun-mtu 1500 
fragment 1300
mssfix 1300
verb 4
comp-lzo


ca ca.crt

cert client.crt

key client.key

Can anyone possibly point me into the right direction into getting this to work?

Thanks for your time!

Hi.
OVPN on Mikrotik is TCP-only. UDP is not implemented! (yet… still…) :slight_smile:
