Great! But RB850Gx2 - when ?

wuuut?..

Starting from RouterOS v6.12 it
is now possible to specify DNS names in your VPN tunnel
destination address.

but according to Changelog,

What's new in 6.4 (2013-Sep-12 13:52):
*) ovpn - allow to specify server via dns name;

What's new in 6.3 (2013-Sep-03 12:25):
*) pptp, l2tp, sstp - allow to specify server via dns name;

and no changes mentioned for 6.12 %)

let's just imagine it was introduced now, ok ? we forgot to announce this wonderful change

I can't wait for this too... I would like to test mAP with CAPsMAN.

So, now we have Routerboards with 16MB SPI flashes and Lite models with 64MB DDR2 instead 32MB DDR.
Thanks for the SPI test points

simply write the vpn server address in the address field of winbox. this requires that your vpn service provider has a DNS name.

Thank you, I tried to do that but when I put the domain name in the vpn address it discover the IP address and I the domain disapear.

what is about DNS names for ipsec peers?
Does it work?

What happened to this product RB953GS-5HnT it has been listed for over a year now and I thought the last released date that was set was April 2014, which was a push back already from previous release dates that have been missed? When will this product be released?

Thank you, I tried to do that but when I put the domain name in the vpn address it discover the IP address and I the domain disapear.

I tried SSTP-Client behind a proxy. Two observations:
1) The proxy still has to be entered as ip address
2) Due to the proxy, the DNS resolution is not working locally. If you check with Packet Sniffer/Wireshark you identify that SSTP-Client is sending "CONNECT 0.0.0.0:443 HTTP/1.1". I would expect "CONNECT vpn.server.com:443 HTTP/1.1" and let the proxy do the dns resolving.

Can anybody confirm?

ps: OpenVPN does not support proxy.
