Hi,
I’m considering getting a MIKROTIK for the following config:
| HOME LAN | — | MIKROTIK 1 |------ | INTERNET | ---- | HOTEL ROUTER | ----- | LAN | ---- | MIKROTIK 2 | ---- | My LAN |
One MIKROTIK 1 router directly connected to INTERNET with DYNAMIC and PUBLIC IP.
One MIKROTIK 2 router inside a HOTEL ROOM (so it is behind hotel’s NAT - no way to change its configuration)
Is it possible to make a VPN between those two, so that MIKROTIK 2 initialize connection to MIKROTIK 1, and
-
Devices from HOME LAN and My LAN can connect each other
-
All traffic is routed via MIKROTIK 1 (even internet one, so any device from My Lan, that would like to access INTERNET, will be routed VIA MIKROTIK 1)
Thank you.
Surely it is possible, assuming VPN connections can be made from the hotel (because they could block it).
Q: Is it possible to make a VPN between those two, so that MIKROTIK 2 initialize connection to MIKROTIK 1, and
Yes, even if the hotel blocks / throttles VPN, you can still use SSTP between Mikrotiks. using port 443, they could not block it. More advanced firewall can, but realy don’t think a Hotel has the need or funding to implement such firewall.
Q. Devices from HOME LAN and My LAN can connect each other
yes
Q. All traffic is routed via MIKROTIK 1 (even internet one, so any device from My Lan, that would like to access INTERNET, will be routed VIA MIKROTIK 1)
yes but you have to be aware, downloading speed on your remote site (hotel) is also limited by the uploading capacity of your home Internet. plus you will have longer latency
also don’t forget the fact hotel network may have other restrictions such as session time, total internet time, data usage, login portals etc. etc.
Thank you guys for a quick reply.
Good to know that there is a way to connect 2 MIKROTIKs (never seen/used them before - so I wanted to as a question before buying)
I have just found out that there is a DEMO for Router OS, so I’ll try it in VMs.
