Hi,
I’ve got my first Mikrotik device a few weeks ago and I was quite enthusiastic about the possibilities of Router OS compared to many other vendors. I was hoping to solve most of my usecases but finally it seems I failed.
Some things I wanted to have:
-
OpenVPN client to connect to my company network → failed because LZO is missing
apparently possible workaround: OpenWRT in Metarouter → no current images, no available repos to install from etc
→ unsolved -
OpenVPN server to connect to my network from Linux and Windows roadwarriors (clients and server are on dynamic IPs behind a dyndns service)
→ failed so far (apparently related to http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/openvpn-unknown-auth-alg/18413/1) -
internal DNS for DHCP clients → solved by a script which does not seem to be really efficient; even dnsmasq has that kind of feature built in)
But back to the question I’m currently trying to solve:
If OpenVPN support in RouterOS is as bad as it is and won’t be improved according to other posts here, what would be a good encrypted VPN to use for dynamic IP endpoints which works from most networks (like openvpn can be configured to tcp/443 which is basically available everywhere) and can be used from typical Linux desktop systems?
And btw related to that: Why can I not bind webfig to port 443 on the internal interface and openvpn to port 443 on the WAN interface? Yes, that can be somehow workarounded by port redirects in firewalls and stuff but …
Thanks,
woro
