CHR and use OpenVPN Server setup

Fri Dec 08, 2017 4:36 pm

Hello,

Curious, has anyone successfully hosted CHR and configured it as a OpenVPN Server VPN concentrator? I'd like to spin up a new CHR instance and it ONLY do OpenVPN (I can install purchased SSL cert). Like to do hosted VPN for clients of mine.

Need to work as such:

Client local SSL VPN >> internet >> CHR >> route push >> Clients local MikroTik

Clients site will have MikroTik onsite and OpenVPN client setup connecting to CHR. This will allow client to work remotely and connect to SSL VPN and access their network.

This possible?

I setup an OpenVPN-AS Server (hosted). However, Having difficulty with the MikroTik Client aspect... never connects (client as gateway)

Making VPN in this config is possible, but you should be aware of major ROS limitation: OpenVPN is supported in TCP only mode and without compression. That means very slow tunnel and could be a reason for your conectivity problem too.
For now IMHO it's better to choose other solution (general purpose linux or VyOS, pfSense etc) or other protocol (IPSEC IKEv2).
