dear users
frankly, I have been struggling! The past few years I have been using IP Cop with the open VPN add-on called Zerina.
I want to replace the ageing IP Cop system with a spanking new Microtik router. I have been experimenting with open VPN tunnels and it is causing me some grief!
Firstly, I currently do all the authentication using certificates, so that the tunnels come up automatically without the need for typing username and password. I have been unable to do this on the Router OS implementation of open VPN. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is this a limitation?
Secondly, my Linux implementation of open VPN server nicely pushes out the correct route configurations to my Windows and Linux clients. I cannot find a way of doing this cleanly on Router OS.
I think at the moment, unless I am missing a trick somewhere, the current implementation has too many limits to make it a usable tunnel endpoint for windows open VPN clients.
Can anyone shed any light, or add any comments to this? I am quite willing stand corrected!
Best regards
