v6.44.1 [stable] is released!

Can you show your config? I am unable to get windows clients for l2tp ipsec to work… it’s lost somewhere in phase1 or 2

After upgrade to 6.44.1 on RB962 GRE+IPSec stopped working when connected to 6.44 on the other side. After downgrade to 6.44 back on-line.

@Chupaka, see this topic and you know without telepathie :slight_smile:

Unable to upgrade from v6.43.2 to v6.44.1 on wAP 60G (arm). Log output after reboot shows:

Excluding security package allows the remainder of the packages to be installed, but after reboot, security package still cannot be installed separately as a workaround - same error.

Do you really need all those packages? You are likely out of space since the device only has 16MB flash.

Also, in the release notes, security now depends on dhcp. Maybe having DHCP package disabled is causing the problem. You should remove all of those extra packages that you have disabled.

Latest release, I was forced to re-enable dhcp package almost everywhere because of many errors errors like those.

3xHAC AC were updated from 6.44 to 6.44.1 no unexpected issues.

Thanks!

For me, windows l2tp ipsec client also stopped working, but I did not update my router (still on 6.44). I think it may be associated with installation of March windows 10 patches; the VPN worked before they installed last week.

MAC telnet broken in 6.44.1, appears to be when router has multiple interfaces.

Problem on all routers we’ve upgraded to 6.44.1 whilst 6.44 worked perfectly.

We’ll need to lab this, to provide more granular detail…

Windows 7 with all updates works fine here with 6.44.1

Are you sure about that? As far as I know on routers like hAP lite RAM is used for storing upgrade files …
As can be seen when we print resources with no update files

And after we upload upgrade files the only thing that changes is RAM usage, not to mention that there would be no room for 10.3MiB file on free-hdd-space: 4688.0KiB …

6.44.1 does not make it possible to stop MikroTik neighbour discovery announcements.

Winbox shows settings from 6.44 but advertisements are still broadcast and export config contradicts Winbox:

#> /ip neighbor discovery-settings set discover-interface-list=!external



#> /ip neighbor export
/ip neighbor discovery-settings set discover-interface-list=external

Export config does not retain negative expression…

Thats worrying, But I can’t confirm this at home

Works fine here also without issues in all routers and interfaces so far.

found it!
probably windows is not properly detecting nat, there is registry to force windows to assume both client and server is behind NAT..
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent /v AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule /t REG_DWORD /d 0x2 /f
0 - no nat
1 - server behind nat
2 - both

Yep, but you have hAP AC Lite, not hAP Lite. In hAP Lite, there’s no “flash” dir and only 32M RAM (6M free for me - definitely not enough to keep an upgrade files).

It would be nice when RouterOS had some setting to force UDP encapsulation without NAT-detection too!
The “NAT traversal” checkmark in Profiles is only enabling the autodetection, there could be another setting in Peers that forces it.
(e.g. for networks that do not have NAT but are not transparent for ESP/AH only for TCP and UDP)

I didn’t try MAC telnet but … I have an old RB411 which I use for testing different setups. After upgrading it to 6.44.1 all worked fine. Then it was time to clear all configuration from it to build some test environment from scratch. After reboot - no MAC connectivity at all using Winbox. It wasn’t shown in neighbors at all. Luckily I am old school guy and there is always an serial cable around. That worked and after adding IP to Ethernet port MAC connectivity was up again.

Very strange!

There is a problem with 6.44 and 6.44.1 with Radius servers - on NAS routers after around 24hours, we get radius timeouts, where PPP users are unable to authenticate. The only solution is to reboot the router.
We have seen this problem on both 6.44 and 6.44.1 and have downgraded these routers to 6.43.13.
I do not know if this issue is present or not in the 6.43 releases, as everything we had upgraded had been in the 6.42 strain.

BUT if you have radius authentication for clients, do not upgrade to 6.44.x
