VPN Connect To with FQDN

Sat Jul 16, 2011 5:40 pm

Hi All,

For next release, please allow FQDN for "Connect To" under PPTP VPN.
Therefore, we can put vpnserver.ourdomain.com on Connect To Field.
We did try from v3 till v5, none of them allow FQDN.

This incapable quite disturb us as our ip public allocation often changed with many reasons.

Paul

Yes, i confirm this. Very uncomfortable, especially when create EoIP tunnel for remote site with dynamic IP-address - I must enter IP-address, if I enter FQDN router resolve it automatically to IP-address. Please developers i beg fix this or do so that the user can configure this.

You can do this with a script.

:if ([/interface pptp-client get "interface-name" running] = false) do={/interface pptp-client set "interface-name" connect-to=[:resolve domain.com]}

Thanks, good temporary solution, though need to use a scheduler. Well, if the developers have integrated this feature into a PPP-server.

Better solution than we expected.

so... the client will be able to update "connect to" by itself depending on the dns server data.

thx.
