VPN PPTP ANDROID

Tue Aug 23, 2016 5:43 pm

hi


Scenario 1;
Refer to the http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=52479
My case is almost similar with it.
My Samsung (android OS) cant connect to the VPN pptp as created. But all my pc/notebook and iphone work wells.


including
/ppp profile add local-address=PPTP-pool name=pptp-test remote-address=PPTP-pool use-encryption=required /ppp secret set phtan profile=pptp-test

If that does not help, then test after this:
/interface pptp-server server set mtu=1400 mru=1400


please help,
i had done alot of configuration, yet it still not working.

I think you will need to investigate the log output on the server, and/or packet sniff the traffic to figure out why it isn't working, but Samsung Android in general does interoperate with the RouterOS pptp implementation. I have it working with my Samsung devices.

Despite the fact PPTP is not recommended due to security reasons, sometime it is useful due to its simplicity.

I tried to configure it and it works with my android phone (Xiaomi running Miui 9.5 which is based on Android 6.0.1) without any issue:
Code: Select all
/ip pool add name=pool-pptp ranges=192.168.101.10-192.168.101.250
/ppp profile add dns-server=1.1.1.1 local-address=192.168.101.1 name=profile-pptp remote-address=pool-pptp use-encryption=yes
/ppp secret add name=launtel password=fastly profile=profile-pptp service=pptp

/interface pptp-server server set authentication=pap,chap,mschap1,mschap2 default-profile=profile-pptp enabled=yes
/ip firewall filter
   add action=accept chain=input comment="Allow PPTP VPN" dst-port=1723 protocol=tcp
   add action=accept chain=input comment="Allow PPTP VPN" protocol=gre

On my phone, I didn't set anything special - just type of VPN, username and password. Only caveat might be the encryption: With
Code: Select all
use-encryption=yes
I can either enable or disable the PPP encryption in android. With
Code: Select all
use-encryption=yes
I can use VPN only with disabled PPP encryption in android. With
Code: Select all
use-encryption=required
I can use VPN only with enabled PPP encryption in android.

Since we don't know what setting you use, neither what does your log say, this is the best I can do. As said earlier, it would be good to have some log info. For example like this:
Code: Select all
/system logging action add name=vpnlog target=memory
/system logging add action=vpnlog topics=pptp
