hAP AC lite VPN access behind ISP router

Sat Oct 09, 2021 1:14 pm

Hi,

How do I access the vpn on my hAP AC lite which I am using behind my ISP's router (Sky, UK)? Do I need to forward a port on my ISP's router?

Many thanks

Depending on which vpn protocol you use, you do need to forward that port to your Mikrotik. Yes.

Or connect from the Tik outwards to another router where you can connect to.

If that is not possible (Firewall,double nat, etc..) , you can always use a reverse VPN.

Insteed of your hAP ac lite being a VPN-Server,
Your device is a VPN-Client of a another device.
