Hi at all!
I would know if I’m in the right place and I need your help!
I’m searching an hardware server/device to install inside my home local network so I can connect by VPN and see all devices inside the lan as if I was connected inside the lan.
Mikrotik can help me?
Thank you very very much!

Yes, RouterOS supports a few methods of VPN remote access.
What speed is your incoming connection at home?
If not more than 100Mbps, I would recommend the RB2011. That’s what I use at home and it has a PPTP server running so I can connect and access my LAN from work.
My home connection is about 10Mbps/1Mbps but I don’t need speed, I need the possibility to access the lan behind the router to control pc and devices as if I’m in local…
So RB2011 is ok?
But can I use it also for Wakw on Lan to send magic packet?
Thank you very much!
Hello to all, i can’t post a new topic yet so i will ask a question and if someone can help me i would appreciate it.
I have a PPTP server set up everything works perfect on my remote site i have 5 RB951Ui2HnD and 5 Engenius Access Points.
The remote site is set up as a hotspot.
My remote range is 172.21.0.0/16 and my access points have static ip’s ranging from 172.21.10.11 - 172.21.10.20
The 5 first are Mikrotik Access Points the rest 5 are the engenius.
From the server side i can ping 172.21.10.16 - 172.21.10.20 (engenius access points)
I can’t ping 172.21.10.11-172.21.10.15 (the mikrotik access points).
Doing a traceroute to 172.21.10.11-15 shows me that the VPN assigned IP is prohibiting access to it.
I have added 172.21.10.11 to the IP Binding section with no success.
I have added 172.21.10.11 to the walled garden section with no success.
I can ping and access the remote client gateway 172.21.1.1
proxy arp is active
Am i missing something out? Do i have to setup some special firewall rule on these access points? Locally the mikrotik access points ping fine and work fine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes RB2011 will give you a nice little router for the price. I have a few of these deployed running PPTP VPN servers. As far as magic packet, are you wanting to send the packet from the router, or from a remote PC connected via VPN? I’m sure somebody has a way to send the WOL command from the router, but I haven’t done that. You should be able to send the packet from a remote PC commected over VPN though.
