Hello,
I have set up a PPTP server in RouterOS v6.38.5 on a RB750GL. The PPTP server is working good. I can use a PPTP client to connect.
I want to set up a rate limit on PPTP users. I have done this before and it worked. But now I can’t seem to get it working on this RB750GL.
I have gone to the PPP menu, then PROFILES then selected the profile associated with the PPP user. I set the “Rate Limit (rx/tx)” to 256000/256000 but the PPTP user can download at full speed but the upload speeds are about 256000. Why is the download speed not working right?
On another RB750GL it is working fine. I have tried different versions of RouterOS on this RB750GL. I even tried another RB750GL and it is having the same problem.
What am I doing wrong?
By the way what is the proper syntax for this field? How do I set it to 256000 up and down constant without any burst/etc. Just need to set a flat speed.
Thank you,
Rizwan
Hi,
Do you have fasttrack enabled ? If so, you should see “dummy” rules both into filter and mangle tables and also fasttrack rules into filter table:
/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection connection-state=established,related comment="defconf: fasttrack"
add chain=forward action=accept connection-state=established,related comment="defconf: accept established,related"
Disable it and try again.
kind regards,
Thank you janus20 – that fixed the issue.
Do you know how to set up burst/etc in this option? Or do that require working with queues? I’ve got it working 256000/256000 as I was looking to do. Now wondering if there’s a way to provide 5 second burst at 1000000/1000000 then settle to 256000/256000. Thank you again!!
Hey janus20 can you send me a private message? Thank you.
Hi,
Glad it works. I do not know that because i have never done it before. I am at the beginning into Mikrotik world myself.
Let me few days to document myself and to try to test your case and i will be back with an answer.
If you are in a hurry i hope someone else more experienced than me could help you out.
kind regards,
Please send a private message to me – it is for something else. I do not need any technical help. Thanks!
Hi,
Just tried but it does not works. On your profile contact link is disabled maybe from your profile is disabled to allow to be contacted, perhaps.

Hmmm, why is my reputation “0”? I am trying to contact you and moderators and I am unable to do so. Could you contact me through Facebook or Reddit, janus20? I want to thank you for your help.
