VPN Server with Static Routes distribution

RouterOS General
1

Hi!

I read this on the forum:

  • We cannot distribute static routes to clients with PPTP on RouterOS.
  • OpenVPN supports static routes distribution but RouterOS doesn’t have this option.
  • Ciscos could do it, but I don’t read nothing if RouterOS could do it with IPSec VPNs.

The question is: Is there one way to create one VPN Server with static routes distribution to clients with RouterOS? If yes, please tell me which type.

Thx.

None of tunnels in ROuterOS can push routes to the client.

Ok, good answer.

Any roadmap for add it to openVPN (as example) ?

4

There is no plans to extend OVPN feature support in near future.

Ok, thank for the info.

For the people who is reading this looking for the same as me:

OpenVPN allows to add static routes in the client configuration file using this command (you could add more than one if you need):

route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0

Routeros will pull routes from an openvpn server not running routeros. But wont pull them from a routeros router.

Thx for the explanation roadracer96. But I want to work only with Mikrotiks.

I’m talking of clients pulling static routes from the Mikrotik. When talking about site-to-site vpns I don’t have any problem adding them manually to each router or using rip, ospf, …

My problem are clients connecting to one vpn server based on mikrotik.

It’s a limitation of Mikrotik but it could be solved on the client configuration of OpenVPN.

I understand and agree. The implementation should be complete, but its not. Dont hold your breath.
