I’ve followed the Wiki tutorial to setup Site-to-Site PPTP, between two Mikrotik routers. The connection establishes but I’m not able to reach the remote LAN behind the remote router with pptp client, but I can reach the LAN in the “office”. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/PPTP#Site-to-Site_PPTP
Am I missing something? LAN behind VPN server has default DHCP range.
Everything is left at it’s defaults - automatic predefined config, except client LAN address is changed from 192.168.88.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24. I can ping VPN client router local address, but nothing else.
Default rules are for the standard “we do only NAT” router.
You will need to add rules (both filter and nat) to allow your site-to-site traffic without NAT.
Like what?
As I said - I can access entire Office network from VPN client, but not vice versa. I can see, that ping from Office to client’s LAN PC is incoming, but doesn’t come through router. I assume, that routing works fine, the issue is with FW that blocks incoming requests.
What should I open on VPN client’s router to be able to get access to that network.
I have also exactly the same issue. I cannot figure out yet why it really happens. I play some with proxy-arp and mtu. I also add extra rule in Source NAT to accept local site Ip range to remote site one.
but no success. I think there should be something small but critical and so sensitive to make the site to site ping able. I think we should take care about its details perfectly too.
I also found something that is strange. In fact it seems trace route to remote LAN site can’t pass the second hub (Show astrisk). I think if it pass here maybe problem can be solved too, so anyone knows how do it?
You don’t have back a route to 192.168.0.0/24 from main office 185.57.77.12. You need duplex connectivity, in order to routes works. From office needs 192.168.0.0/24 to pptp and from remote office 192.168.88.0/24 to pptp. But since you have it on your lan, you can better use EoIP tunnel.
Guys! I think I found a solution. All two days working on it. Too Crazy but actually it works perfect with just one simple rule.
The all you need is NAT Masquerade rule from your local IP range to final destination IP range.
No other thing is actually needed except one simple static route to pass your traffic.
Please rate it positive if you find it useful.
Thanks Anumark, Your talking is also not wrong as I think, it should works too. but It seems here we can also do some magic without that (configuration main office) too using mikrotik.
