Step 1: Creating TLS Certificate for OpenVPN Server and Client.

It is assumed that your WAN and LAN networks are working without any issue.Ĭomplete MikroTik OpenVPN Server configuration can be divided into the following three steps. So, we will enable and configure OpenVPN Server in MikroTik Router. Part 1: OpenVPN Server Configuration in MikroTik RouterĪccording to the network diagram, MikroTik Router is our OpenVPN Server.

Part 2: OpenVPN Client Configuration in Windows Operating System.

Part 1: OpenVPN Server Configuration in MikroTik Router.

Complete OpenVPN configuration can be divided into two parts. We will now start OpenVPN Server and Client configuration. We will also declare route in OpenVPN Client so that connected VPN user can access resources of OpenVPN server’s network.

After OpenVPN Server and Client configuration, the router will create a virtual interface (OpenVPN Tunnel) across public network where VPN Gateway IP address will be 192.168.2.1 and Client machine will get an IP Address within 192.168.2.0/24 IP Block. We will configure OpenVPN server in this router and OpenVPN client in a Windows Operating System. MikroTik Router’s ether2 interface is connected to local network having IP network 10.10.11.0/24. In your network, this IP address should be replaced with public IP address. In this network, MikroTik Router ( RouterOS v6.49) is connected to internet through ether1 interface having IP address 117.58.247.198/30. To configure OpenVPN Server in MikroTik Router on TCP Port 443, we are following the below network diagram. The goal of this article is to configure an OpenVPN Server on so popular TCP Port 443 in MikroTik Router and configure OpenVPN Client in Windows Operating System so that a Windows user can connect to a remote office network and can be able to access remote network resources (Servers, Printers etc.) across public network safely. But MikroTik OpenVPN has limitation to use PPP username and password although a site to site VPN does not require username and password. OpenVPN is a site to site VPN technology in nature even in NAT network. So, OpenVPN Tunnel is a trusted tunnel to send and receive data across public network.

Unlike PPTP and L2TP VPN Services which are poorly designed and can easily be blocked, OpenVPN can highly be customized and even can be run on so popular TCP Port 443. IT provides a secure and encrypted VPN tunnel across public network. MikroTik OpenVPN is an amazing VPN solution.
