Create a PPTP VPN

Wed Aug 04, 2021 1:46 am

Hello everyone!
I just go my hands on a Routerboard RB750r2 and i'm trying to set up a PPTP VPN through the IP Cloud service, but I can't manage to connect to it.
I followed several tutorials that explain how to create the profiles, secrets, etc. But all of those guides are based on the asumption that the public IP is configured in the WAN of the router, wich is not my case.
My ISP gives me a pre-configured router that has a DHCP on it's own, and i'm connecting my routerboard to the router of my ISP through one of the LAN ports of my ISP router, so the IP that my mikrotik gets is one from the DHCP pool of that router.
So when I try to connect to the VPN through the IP Cloud DNS, it just won't work, any ideas how can I configure a PPTP VPN under my situation?
Thank you so much to anyone who can give me a hand here.

You will have to ask ISP to configure port forwarding for PPTP on their router pointing to your router address.
