Windows VPN to Mikrotik PPTP

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi All,

I’ve been head scratching on this for a couple days now,

I’ve followed all sorts of guides and even a youtube video!,
its gotten to the point where i have managed to get the vpn to authenticate, i get given a local address off the MT which I’ve set from the default lan, but when i try to browse every so offen it works and other times it just sits there,
when i do IPconfig on the computer it shows me having a local lan (from MT) with a 255.255.255.255 sub and oddly 0.0.0.0 as the GW ..?

any ideas?

i will be posting the config once ive edited it a bit

All i want it to do is so i can remotely log into the lan so i can access all of my internal network :frowning:

Cheers

Kev

A PPTP link can work with 0.0.0.0 as the default gateway since the interface can be used for default routing without a remote target IP being defined.

If your PPTP IP is from the LAN make sure that you have proxy-arp running on the LAN interface.

If the problem comes up in browsing try to identify if it is spurious DNS lookups or actual connectivity issues. Is it particular websites that have problems? (Often MTU related…)
