after setting up hotspot and usermanager in RouterOS I get "Radius server not responding" when trying to login in the hotspot page
The issue persist in recent RouterOS versions, 6.39.3 version works fine, 6.44 and 6.44.1 not working.
After digging it turns out the issue is in one of the firewall rules that gets added by the default configuration(if you use the defaults), disabling this allowed the hotspot to connect to radius server
Code: Select all
;;; defconf: drop all not coming from LAN
chain=input action=drop in-interface-list=!LAN log=no log-prefix=""
Code: Select all
;;; defconf: drop all from WAN
chain=input action=drop in-interface=ether5 log=no log-prefix=""
Don't know if this was added by mikrotik intentionally or just a bug, maybe the script should be corrected to use the older rule, or just add a rule to allow loopback.
This was tested on RB952Ui-5ac2nD and RB951Ui-2HnD
