OVPN Client - no ping from Mikrotik itself possible

RouterOS General
1

Hello Community,

I’ve created a Client Ovpn from a Mikrotik HAP AC to a Securepoint firewall. Everything is working fine and Clients can access / ping other clients/servers on both remote sites, BUT the Mikrotik can’t reach the remote site.

i’ve tried ping on terminal an ping tool with every interface. Its just not working. Any hints what i need to do ?

Routes are created automatically. I have not masquerade rules, but i tried it also with them. I do not block any outgoing traffic.

Why do i need it ? I want to use Netwatch to check if a remote DNS is reachable, if not, change the dns Server on the Mikrotik.

Was working while i was using a ipsec VPN.

Thanks a lot !

Hi Unic,

Please share your config using

/export hide-sensitive

That way we get a better understanding of possible issues in your configuration.

Maybe the issue isn’t blocking outgoing traffic, but blocking traffic on the input-chain. Because the reply doesn’t come back to your router

I use a firewall-rule like this:

/ip firewall filter
add action=accept chain=input connection-state=established,related

This allows reply for connections started from my router to reach the router.
