Re: pppoe dmz

Simplest solution is to NAT the PPPOE connection.

Google "Mikrotik NAT PPPOE"

Use Ether1 for the PPPOE connection and Ether2-5 for the internal network

You need to go to the wireless menu item and then the interfaces tab and enable the wireless and setup SSID and password etc.

Re: Tunnel issue (Config)

Since you have multiple networks, you should start by ensuring you can ping from a server to router 2. Once that is done, ping from router 2 to the same server. This should be resolved mostly by adding routes. Once the above is resolved, do some port forwarding to expose services to the internet via...

Re: VPN Tunnel - selectively connecting devices

If the VOIP phones were on a different IP range than everything else, you could simply add a filter on the firewall to deny all traffic except the VOIP range.

Re: Mikrotik DNS consumes 100% of CPU

A good place to see these attacks visually is under the connections tab on firewall. Knowing the total number of connections under normal use is a good way to spot abnormal traffic. As an example, on my home router, I know that anything over 5 or 600 connections means something weird is happening. W...

You can create minimal rules to allow traffic out to the internet and provide basic protection from the internet but the more complex your network is, the more rules you will have to create.

Re: Please Help! :-( two mikrotik networks not working

A ping wants to go through the network to the target device and then back out through the network to the device who asked for the ping. Looks like your ping cant get back to 10.80.8.1 might need a route on the mikrotik 2 - 192.168.50.235 network so the ping traffic has a path back to the destination...

A webserver I look after was getting pounded heavily from multiple external addresses with the xmlrpc.php wordpress attack.

Re: VPN Mikrotik to Netgear

This will happen if the IP range is the same on each end of the network. IP range MUST be different on each end. It may be a route issue, look in IP route and see where the default traffic is going. You have done the hardest part by connecting the VPN. What does a tracert to the other site show you?

you can use the MT DNS server and add static host entries there instead of on the PC. This requires the VPN clients using the MT as their DNS

You can only graph the interfaces on the MT device. SO in your case you can graph the port that the switch is plugged into and grab the total traffic passing through the port but not individual. The IP information on the graph man page refers to who can view the graphs page ie its a permissions thin...

Hi, we have a router using PPPOE and 5 extra wan addresses, everything is working (I can ping the IP addresses on the router) Want to put one of the WAN addresses directly onto a server and plug the server into port 5 so it is completely exposed to the internet without NAT etc. How to do this? thanks
