Hi guys.

I am a guy coming from PfSense to RouterOS and while i am not a newbie sysadmin, routerOS seems very hard for me.
I bought a RB2100iL which has 2 switches: 5 x Gb && 5 x Ethernet.
I am triying to get used to it but it seems there is a lot of things that simply, i dont understand.

Bridging
I dont know why, but the connection between the Gb ports, where it is the main gateway, and the lan ports are connected using by default a bridge. Why????? I tried to simply delete the bridge and config everything and i always did on pfsense and i lost connection with the router.
As i did alway in my pfsense boxes with a bunch of network adaptors, only bridging if you want to "bridge" networks. But mainly you should do routing between the network interfaces. I dont understand why the lan ports are by default bridged to the gigabit ports.

Outbound openvpn

I am triying to connect to my remote vpn server using the 1194 udp and it simply doesnt work. From another network (using a 3g modem) it works. I accesed the running server and the port is open.
I also tried to connect to the management panel of my softether which use the 443 and it simpy doesnt connect.
Accessing a regular website using 443 work, so i dont know.

I really dont know how to deal with this RouterOS but after a weekend i am really considering that maybe is to much effort to deploy this machines instead my pfsense in my clients.

Thanks for your effors guys:

RouterBOARD 2011 has default configuration.
There are two switch groups configured, and then bridge is made between them. For 98% it allows to reach higher speed.
If you do not need default configuration, I recommend to run /system reset-configuration=no-defaults,
then use MAC-Winbox to access your device,

At the moment UDP openVPN is not supported by MikroTik RouterOS. It will be available and supported in the future.
