PPTP over active PPPoE

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello,

Let’s try some more questions, for those who would be willing to answer :slight_smile:

I have a running pppoe server on a mikrotik device, using user-manager to authenticate users. It’s all working well.

Now… is it possible to run a PPTP tunnel from my PC, to that same mikrotik device, over that PPPoE tunner that is already running?

My idea is to user that PPTP tunnet, to configure firewall rules to let me access the entire network connected to the mikrotik device. I can’t let pppoe users have that kind of access, and since it is the router that creates the pppoe tunnel, and not the PC itself, it would be more convenient to be able to create a PPTP tunnel instead of create an pppoe special user to do so.

I have enable PPTP Server and tryed (from a Windows machine) to connect using 172.16.0.1 (mikrotik address) as the host for the VPN, and I get an error 800.

What I can notice is that firstly, windows does try to authenticate the user to the PPTP server, and it seems to do so as them it try to create the tunnel, using SSTP, L2TP, PPTP. But none works.

It worked now.

Turns out, that between the device marked as “Router” in my schematic (that was actually an ubiquiti radio configured to connected with pppoe) was behind another old internal router and I forgot about it. I just opened it’s configuration and marked the options for PPP as image attached.

Thanks anyway for anyone that would be trying to give it a thought.
