Now, let's get down to business. Here's a detailed breakdown of the steps:

First, you'll need to log in to your MikroTik router. Open up a web browser and type in the IP address of your router. This is usually 192.168.88.1, but if you're not sure, consult your router's documentation.
Next, you'll need to create a new user. Navigate to System > Users, and click the Add New button. Enter a username and password, and make sure the Group is set to 'full'.
Now it's time to set up the VPN server. Navigate to PPP > PPPoE Server, and click the Add New button. Set the Service to pptp, and make sure the Authentication setting is set to 'mschap2'.
Under the Profile tab, click the Add button to create a new profile. Give the profile a name, and set the Local Address to the IP address of your router. You can leave the Remote Address field blank if you want.
Now it's time to configure the PPP Secret. Navigate to PPP > Secrets, and click the Add New button. Set the Name to the username you created earlier, and the Password to the password you set. Make sure the Service is set to pptp, and set the Profile to the profile you just created.
Finally, you'll need to configure your firewall to allow VPN traffic. Navigate to IP > Firewall, and click the Add New button. Under the General tab, set the Chain to input, and the Protocol to tcp. Under the Advanced tab, set the Dst. Port to 1723. Repeat these steps for a second firewall rule, but set the Protocol to gre.

And that's it! You should now be able to connect to your MikroTik VPN using PPTP. Happy surfing, friends!
