Re: Connecting 2 remote clients over Remote Desktop over VPN

I can administer the Mikrotik router (on 192.168.88.1) from afar over VPN, so I am getting in. I don’t know how to assign a static LAN IP to the two remote locations getting a VPN connection, so that affects perhaps some the solution you suggest. One thing of note is some weirdness (my ignorance) in...

Re: Connecting 2 remote clients over Remote Desktop over VPN

Such a bummer, if I am really without an option.

Since I can RDP from the cloud into the LAN network, isn’t it a matter of adjusting firewall and/or port settings?

Re: Connecting 2 remote clients over Remote Desktop over VPN

Sorry about the lack of clarity or its convoluted nature -- linking a sketch: https://ibb.co/4Tm1N8P . I want to communicate from location 1 to location 3 via a Mikrotik L2TP-IPSec VPN. I have set up split-tunneling at Locations 1 & 2 so that everything on 192.168.88.0/24 goes to the Mikrotik. L...

Connecting 2 remote clients over Remote Desktop over VPN

I'd like to connect a Linux client using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) at the 1st remote location to a Windows machine at a 2nd remote location over a Mikrotik VPN at at 3rd location. Therefore, all three have different public facing IP's. Due to legacy concerns and cross-OS compatibility,...

Re: Multiple Road Warrior L2TP/IPsec clients behind NAT - solved

Consider zerotier and/or wireguard for simple fast VPN accross all OSs.

Thanks, but as OP, I'm not looking to install any non-native apps on any of the platforms.

Something happened either in recent updates of Windows 10, or RouterOS, but I can no longer connect through to my remote Mikrotik router VPN from several wireless networks.

Radio Name blank (v6.47.7, hap ac2)

Radio Name comes up blank under Wireless Tables --> Registration, but clearly shows under Wireless Tables --> WiFi Interfaces. See images.

Is this a bug?

Re: Ampache & RouterOS web server on hAP ac2

Guys, please read my original post. Obviously, I do not want to install OpenWRT. I like RouterOS. I don't want to stop using it. Based on what you both are telling me, the software is not implemented. I get it. Let's get it on the feature request, then.

Bad luck. Why you thought that it should be possible?
It's possible with OpenWRT

I would also like to stream my mp3's to my phone and laptop while away. I'd like to run Ampache -- https://github.com/ampache on RouterOS. Is th...

Re: Active Host Name / Client ID

These are parameters that clients provided to server during the dhcp communication. The content depends on the settings of the clients. If you change it, it won't match to the clients request. Try it and see... Client ID is assigned by the router. And the Active Host Name is not ping-able from a te...

Active Host Name / Client ID

Noob question. Fair warning. I am trying to understand what the "Active Host Name" and "Client ID" do, and if they can be renamed, when the IP address is made static. (The wiki entries are unhelpful, to me.) Sometimes I see blank entries, sometimes I see multiple entries (a compu...

It's possible home users will have a network/subnet: 192.168.88.0/24 (instead of 10.0.0.0/8) If your users are on Windows 10 you can use the new PowerShell command-lets for VPN management to get some ...

Re: RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD problem with 5 GHz wifi

Forgive the noob question, but does the 160GHz DFS selection preclude slower clients from connecting at 80GH, or 40GHz. If it doesn't, wouldn't 160GHz be a better (more encompassing) choice, even if all devices are brought down to the smallest bandwidth? Also, for a router that's in a set-it-up and ...
