I don't know why the following setup doesn't work and it should.

RouterOS ver: 6.12 & 6.13
Hardware: RB951G
OVPN status: Connection is established without any problem.

Setup:

OVPN server in ethernet mode and bridged with LAN segment.

Problem:
PC1 can ping PC2.
However PC1 cannot ping RB961G LAN gateway IP(192.168.88.1).
PC1 able to get gateway MAC from ARP request.
Wireshark showed RB961G reply every ping with ARP request but PC1 MAC already in RB961G ARP table.

Thank you for your help.

The same problem. In 6.7 it was normal, 6.13 does not work.
Just does not work PPTP-client <-> OVPN-client

Mikrotik is a peace of **it. All our private network is now disabled after upgrade to the new firmware. We use such bridged openvpn network AND IT MUST WORK. I can't check all nodes from the Mikrotik now. The using of none-bridged openvpn network is also not working due to haven't ping between clients.
Sounds like a good reason to test something IN LAB before deploying to production.
