OpenVPN server on RB951 + Windows Client configuration

Mon Oct 14, 2019 1:41 pm

Hi guys,

I am trying to configure an OpenVPN server on my RB951 to remotely access my home network.
To configure the server on the RB and the Windows client I followed this guide but it doesn't work.
The client connects to the server and the OpenVPN icon turns green but I can't ping any devices in my network, not even the gateway.
This message appears in the Mikrotik terminal: "ovpn,debug,error,,,,,,,,,l2tp,info,,debug,,,critical,,,,,,,,,,,,,warning duplicate packet, dropping".
Running the ipconfig command in the windows CMD reveals that the openvpn network interface has only an IP address and subnet mask but has no gateway and no DNS server.

I would suggest you use L2TP/IPsec, it will be easier for you...

I have already configured the L2TP server with IPsec on Mikrotik and it works perfectly but now I would like to use OpenVPN.
