I would like to connect my mikrotik 5.2 to my VPN service provided by reliablehosting.com.
I have tried with pptp and the connection becomes unresponsive, they suggested trying l2tp over ipsec.
This is simply to configure on windows or mac, by entering the server address, user, pass and shared secret.
But i have read all the documents associated with this on mikrotik but can’t seem to figure it out. Most of the help files are referring to connecting 2 Mikrotik boxes.
Can anyone help please!!
There is no problem with PPTP on MikroTik RouterOS, it is working properly (maybe there are problems on other end?)
For L2TP+IPsec, the following configuration is required,
- L2TP client,
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/L2TP#Connecting_Remote_Client - proper IPSec configuration,
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/IPsec
required configuration,
– /ip ipsec peer (besides basic configuration, there are phase1 settings);
– /ip ipsec proposal (encryption algorithms configuration for phase2);
– /ip ipsec policy, specify the traffic that you need to encrypt between your router and other end router.
