pptp, openvpn ip address and route issue

Hi There

I'm was running MT 532 (v3.3) with pptp and openvpn for 20 clients for months working 100%.
I installed v3.9 on x86 to give more proccesing power and ram. Exported all ppp settings from old MT into
X86 (3.9).

It started of working great, all vpn client connected immediatly but when a client disconnects and reconnects my routerOS doesn't release the client ip address or dynamic route. ip address shows invalid (red) and route is inactive (blue).

The client can't connect again until I manually remove the invalid ip address. (I'm using fixed ip for client side, not from a pool). I have even downgraded the X86 box to v3.3 - but still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I have the same problem.

This on RB1000 with v3.17.
The only way, as I have discovered, to solve this is to delete the dynamic ip address.

Maybe a workaround is to make a script which automatically delete the invalid ip address.

Anyone else who experience the same?
