If you change the cipher to one that's not hardware encrypted, that problem goes away, replaced with a new problem of CPU capacity.

In winbox, PPP > LT2P Server, check Use IPsec and fill in the IPsec Secret field. That's your pre-shared key. No more manual IPsec config, all of that is handled dynamically now. So it's just as easy to set up as PPTP. I'm still running this on our NOC CCR for remote access, and yes, the out of order packet issue is a problem especially with HTTPS, but I'm not going back to PPTP. If MT was smart, they would let us bypass the h/w accelerated encryption and let it gobble up one of the 36 unused CPU cores. I don't really care. At least that's an interim solution.

Failing that, IPSec with a decent client like Greenbow has also worked easily and well. All of that being said, is easy what is best with security?

Depends on what kind of security he is looking for. It would be easy enough to set up an IPSEC VPN, the question is CPU load if the encryption has to be done in software. Also, weren’t there some posts about problems with hardware based encryption on some Mikrotik platforms, maybe CCR? It sounds like you are looking for a client based VPN, not a site-site VPN? So you need something that will work with a client that comes with Windows? That sounds like either PPTP or IPSEC.

Im putting a mikrotik in because the Fortigate solution is cost prohibitive. Fortigates ssl vpn is slick, easy and end user friendly (for the client) Whats the easiest VPN/client on a mikrotik. It would be great if it was as simple as the fortigate, they have a workstation client and most phone apps, All I need to do is give them an IP/FQDN and their username and password, its done. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
