The server now has all the information needed to authenticate and assign a connection the appropriate IP details but we are missing one final component to making this connection work as expected and that is our Firewall.
#MAC VPN SETUP FOR MIKROTIK HOW TO#
For the purposes of this how to my User will have a name of VPN with the profile set to the profile we created earlier and the service set to L2TP, a password will also have to be entered for the user. Make sure enabled is selected in the L2TP server window and the ‘Default Profile’ is set to the profile we have just created and that ‘mschap2’ is selected as the authentication option (most secure option available), IPsec can be left alone at this point as the 2 Mikrotiks will encrypt the connection using AES 256-bit (IPSec will be introduced in the next VPN Blog).īefore we can set-up the client side for a connection we need to create a VPN user account, to do this navigate to ‘Secrets’ in the PPP menu and click the + to create a new user. Now we have a profile configured the next step is to enable the L2TP server option, this can be done in the PPP menu under the Interfaces tab by simply selecting the ‘L2TP Server’ button. Lastly select the Protocols tab and ensure that under ‘Use Encryption’ the required option is selected. 192.168.5.1 (this address will be identified as the routers own address once a VPN is established). The last field that need to be filled in the DNS server this should be the same as the local address e.g. The remote address should be set to use the IP Pool we created earlier, the drop down menu can be used to access all IP Pools.
L2TP/IPSec Profile, the local address will be the first IP address of the subnet used in the VPN IP Pool in my example this is 192.168.5.1 (this address should not be in the IP Pool).

Click the plus icon and give the new profile a meaningful name e.g. The connections profiles tab can be found in the PPP menu, the 2 default profiles can be edited to suit our needs but for the purposes of this HowTo I shall create a new profile. Next we need to create a Profile for the L2TP connection to use, the purpose of a profile is to correctly set up incoming and authenticated VPN connections with the right details such as assigned IP address/Local address/DNS details and if any encryption or compression is required. Click the plus icon and give the new pool a meaningful name and type a new address range e.g 192.168.5.2-192.168.5.20. You should see your existing DHCP pool in this new window, we need to create a completely separate pool on a different subnet to segregate internal traffic from VPN traffic. Step one is to create a set (Pool) of usable IP address for any incoming VPN connections, once logged in via Winbox navigate to IP then to Pool. Lets start with the server side (the CRS 125-24G-1S), on here we need to set it up for L2TP connections along with configuring the firewall to allow such connections and also we need to configure the server to supply the VPN with valid IP addresses (can set a single static entry if required).

Part 2 will focus on setting up a secure VPN with IPSec to a MikroTik from a mobile IOS or Android and a computer with Windows/OSX/Ubuntu based operating systems.įor Part 1 of this HowTo i will be using a CRS 125-24G-1S as my home router and VPN server and mAP as my remote MikroTik router, the goal of this HowTo is to establish a SECURE connection back home (or in the office) in order to access Home/Office resources/services and also bypass restrictions and vulnerabilities that may be imposed by unfamiliar internet connections. Part 1.5 can be found here which focuses on Mikrotik to Mikrotik IPsec VPN. This is part 1 of a VPN HowTo to aid in the set up of secure VPN services on Mikrotik Devices, in part 1 I will focus on basic set-up and MikroTik to MikroTik secure VPN.
