If you want VPN clients to talk to each other (e.g., for RDP between remote workers), add:
/ip pool add name=ovpn-pool ranges=10.8.0.2-10.8.0.254 /ppp profile add name=ovpn-profile local-address=10.8.0.1 remote-address=ovpn-pool dns-server=8.8.8.8 /ppp secret add name=vpnuser password=StrongPass123 profile=ovpn-profile /interface ovpn-server server set enabled=yes certificate=server.crt require-client-certificate=yes \ auth=sha1 cipher=aes256 default-profile=ovpn-profile port=1194 /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=10.8.0.0/24 out-interface=<WAN> action=masquerade /ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=1194 action=accept
Let’s walk through a practical example. Assume you have a MikroTik router at your office with a public IP of 203.0.113.10 . You want remote employees to connect securely.
: Repeat the process for a "Client" certificate, selecting tls client for Key Usage . 2. Configuring the OpenVPN Server With certificates ready, you can now enable the server:
The problem wasn’t the concept. It was the syntax.
Enable this for two-factor-like security. 4. Craft Your Client Config (.ovpn)
