Configure VPN Server

Before start configure VPN server download the Configuration tool for RouterOS.

Run Winbox.exe and wait 5-10 sec. until the IP and MAC adress will apear.

A pop-up window will apear and choose "Remove Configuration" otherwise the router will create a default configuration.

First step is to create a static IP for your internet connection.

Select "Addresses" from "IP" and click the plus sign.

We have used IP 10.3.0.80 which is a local IP from the main router IP Pool and we have forwarded the 1723 port.

We have to route IP for internet access.

Add IP 0.0.0.0/0 in "Dst. Address:" box. In "Gateway" box add your ISP gateway or you can simply choose the interface where the main cable is plugged in.

In order to create VPN server choose PPTP Server from PPP interface.

Add a name or leave default and click OK.

Now click on "Secrets" tab from PPP interface and add a new user.

Add user and password and choose service pptp from the dropdown. The "Local Address" and "Remote Address" must be diferent than your internet access IP pool.

Ex.: Local Address: 1.1.1.1 Remote Address: 1.1.1.2

Now select EoIp Tunnel tab from Interfaces and add a new tunnel.

Add Local and Remote Address same as above and add "1" in the "Tunnel ID".

Add a new bridge from "Bridge" interface choose a name or leave default and click OK.

Now select "Ports" tab from the same interface and add EoIP tunnel and the ethernet interface where the PC is plugged or you can add all ethernet interfaces to be sure.

Add for the bridge same IP pool as network adapter.

Now you have to enable the PPTP server. From PPP->Interface select "PPTP Server" tab check "Enabled" and all "Authentication" boxes.

If the VPN client is created will appear in PPP->Active Connections if not, please check Configure VPN Client
