PPTP problem - empty winbox

Sat Mar 09, 2019 11:25 am

Hello!

I got my home Mikrotik connected to Mikrotik at my work via PPTP connection.
All routes are made how it should, and it even worked before.

From home I can ping all devices on network, even the PPTP server Mikrotik.
When I try to connect to ANY Mikrotik at my work via I just got empty winbox, and it disconnects me after couple of seconds.

When I connect with my PC directly to PPTP Mikrotik server, everything works how it should.
What could be the issue? :)

Thanks

MTU issue, set up mangle rules to reduce TCP MSS.

On which device I should set this?
I tried setting on both server and client, but still no luck.

Ensure that your firewall is allowing GRE related connections. If you don't it will not work

I put my MAX MTU on PPTP connection to 1400 and it works great now.
It was 1450 before.

/ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=gre action=accept

GRE overhead 24 bytes -> 1500 - 24 = 1476 MTU, but you should adjust mangle to change MSS

Thank you for advice!
After change MTU and MRU for L2TP connection bandwidth test is working both ways
