I’m a newbie, so please bear over - also that I still want to use PPTP (for now).
I’ve been using a mAP lite with ROS 6.49.8 to connect using PPTP to my SmartDNSProxy server without any problems (using the setup shown in https://youtu.be/6hdDqXAUBpo - “VPN Configuration PPTP Client – Router Mikrotik - VPNonline”).
Now I’ve purchased a hAP ax3 running ROS 7.11, and tried to use it instead of my mAP lite, and I discovered that I could no longer add a “New Routing Mark” in my IP > Firewall > Mangle rule - so I added “routing/table/add name = “vpn” fib” to create the new routing mark.
In IP > Routes > Routes List > +, there are some new fields (compared to ROS 6) which I left at their default values (shown in parens):
Immediate Gateway (unknown - but shows up as the same as “Gateway”)
Local Address (“blank”)
Suppress Hw offload (“blank”)
VRF Interface (“blank”)
Pref. Source (“blank”)
Blackhole (“Not selected”)
And I assumed that “Routing Table” replaces what was previously called “Routing Mark”, and I set it to “vpn” created above. Also, previously there was a “Type” field (set to “unicast”) but it is not shown in ROS 7.
However, nothing then passes through the router even though the PPTP connection is “enabled”, “running” and “connected”. When I reset the “Routing Table” back to “main”, I can access the Internet through the router - but directly, and not through the PPTP tunnel.
But, and this I cannot explain, sometimes when I reset the “Routing Table” to “vpn”, it works correctly (i.e. connecting through the PPTP tunnel). It’s as though flipflopping the “Routing Table”, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong (except for using PPTP 
)
Thanks
