MikroTik Router Configuration Proxy And VPN Redundancy
Hey there, internet dwellers! Are you feeling the need for some privacy and security while browsing the web? Well, fear not! Today, I'm going to explain to you how to configure VPN on your Mikrotik Router.

Now, before we get started, let's quickly cover what a VPN is. It stands for Virtual Private Network, and it's essentially a technology that allows you to securely connect to the internet by creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. This tunnel prevents anyone from intercepting your internet traffic and can also help you bypass geographical restrictions.
Now, without further ado, let's start configuring our VPN on our Mikrotik Router!
Step One: Creating a PPTP VPN Server
The first thing we need to do is create a PPTP VPN server. PPTP stands for Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, and it's one of the easiest VPN protocols to configure. Here's how you do it:
- Log in to your Mikrotik Router using the web interface or winbox.
- Click on the "PPP" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click on the "Interface" tab and then click on the "Add new" button.
- From the drop-down menu, select "PPTP Client".
- Give your VPN connection a name and select the interface you want to use.
- In the "Dial Out" tab, enter the IP address or hostname of the VPN server you want to connect to.
- Enter your username and password for the VPN connection.
- Click "Apply".
Step Two: Configuring Your Mikrotik Router
Now that you have created your PPTP VPN server, we need to configure your Mikrotik Router to use it. Here's how:
- Click on the "IP" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click on the "Firewall" tab and then click on the "NAT" tab.
- Click on the "Add new" button and enter the following information:
- Chain: srcnat
- Action: masquerade
- Out-interface: your WAN interface
- Click "Apply".
Step Three: Connecting to Your VPN Server
Now that your Mikrotik Router is configured to use your VPN server, you can connect to it. Here's how:
- Click on the "PPP" tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Click on the "Secrets" tab and then click on the "Add new" button.
- Enter a username and password for your VPN connection.
- Click "Apply".
- Click on the "Interfaces" tab and then click on the "PPTP Client" interface.
- Click "Connect".
And that's it! You're now connected to your VPN server on your Mikrotik Router. Now, you can enjoy the benefits of a secure and private internet connection.
Conclusion
Congratulations on successfully configuring your VPN on your Mikrotik Router! Now that you have a secure and private internet connection, you can browse the web without worrying about anyone intercepting your internet traffic or compromising your data.
