Hi,
I’m hoping someone could assist me with this problem I am facing, and just can’t seem to wrap my head around. I am not to familiar with Mikrotik routers but have dealt with them in the past so my knowledge is limited.
So my scenario would look something like this.
I have an internet connection(currently LTE but this will later be a failover connection for the Fibre optik connection I am waiting on) This has a Dynaminc Public IP and a Static Private IP of 192.168.9.1/24.
Now I have a device on my network, which has a LAN and a WAN interface, with the LAN interface being on the 192.168.9.0/24 network for configuration and managment purposes.
I have now gone and subscribed to a vpn service which offers me a static public IP.
I have successfully managed to configure the vpn service on the mikrotik via a pptp client. My issue comes in routing all traffic destined for the vpns public static ip to the wan interface on the formentioned device. I have set the WAN interface on thirdparty device to 192.168.10.2, with its gateway and primary dns set to 192.168.10.1. Then the WAN port on this device goes to mikrotik port3 and the microtik interfaces directly with the internet router. I have added in a masquerade rule in the nat table, but am struggling to get the correct firewall rules that should be in place for routing from external to vpn ip to this device over the 192.168.10.0 network from the lets just say 5.5.5.5(hypothetical vpn static ip) network. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated…
Thanks
