How?
You can use ssh, webfig or winbox to configure your vpn.
Or you having some difficulties with vpn configuration? If so please start with your configuration and steps you already done to configure your vpn.

PPTP is documented: https://support.vyprvpn.com/hc/en-us/ar ... r-Mikrotik , but PPTP is not very secure

It might be better to use OpenVPN. The instructions for DD-WRT to be understood and converted to similar RouterOs OpenVPN setup, if possible

Use your favourite search engine and you will find: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:C ... rtificates
Is it really so hard to read any manual before asking the simplest question?

BartoszP you are distracted from the main question. Why even recommend OpenVPN in this particular case? There are easier solutions.

Normis, not really ... the topic drifts to "how to configure router from scratch as I'm from Iran". Do you think that MT wiki is blocked in Iran?
On the other hand the user name looks like automatically generated one ... lots such names are active lately on the forum with simple questions. Not blaming anyone but there is a rush of them lately. You just removed one like that.

Just because the question is "to set up vyprvpn, to bypass internet censorship in iran? ".
And vyprvpn supports OpenVPN as client connect software.
See https://support.vyprvpn.com/hc/en-us/se ... or-Routers
And PPTP is not considered very safe, compared to OpenVPN.

The OpenVPN certificate for VYprVPN is in the already referred to DD-WRT documentation: https://support.vyprvpn.com/hc/en-us/ar ... for-DD-WRT

Anyway if you want to setup a VPN to get connection outside a restricted area, you might need to set it up from somewhere else, as the supporting and download websites are blocked without bypassing VPN.
If you travel to such a country, then eg NordVPN has made all the steps needed to make it work, with some special masquerading and connection concealing steps. But set it up before you travel there. Learn how to use the NordVPN obfuscated servers. Just using some regular VPN service or setting up your own normally does not work !

Mikrotik -NordVPN is documented here: https://support.nordvpn.com/Connectivit ... ordVPN.htm

I have the impression, only impression, that the documented MT connections to NordVPN and VYprVPN are IKE v2 and PPTP only because OpenVPN was not available in ROS v6.

You know Normis,
I would bet that the User in IRAN could share stuff with the world or each other on servers if they had.............

An options package for ZERO TRUST Cloudflare Tunnel, available for all MT devices..................

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I said "Get Smart" about this functionality, I didnt mean buy a shoe phone or live in the cone of silence (and on this issue you really are in a bubble and out of touch), no I meant the world is predicated on COMMUNICATION with one another. So please give MT the tools so people can communicate and share!!

Without communication one has 'chaos'
