Hotels/Hotspots suck. Never sure IPSEC travels through. So sometimes I end up 
opening a VNC port to be able to do anything.

Clients are easy! It’s the server side that sucks.

So, I'm getting the general consensus is there is no general consensus and end 
users configuring their client is simple as long as they are sysadmins

6.32.2...
[admin@NOC] /ip ipsec> export
/ip ipsec proposal
set [ find default=yes ] enc-algorithms=3des,aes-256-cbc

I forget what blog or whatever I found this on, but that's what Windows wants 
to see.

ah...so you're saying it's not IPSec issue per se?

Do you know which encryption types are hardware accelerated?

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

MT made L2TP+IPsec w/ pre-shared key painless to configure around v6.30 or 
6.32, somewhere in there. 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.

It's right up there with WEP or locking your screen door.

Is OpenVPN an option on Mikrotik?  I've run it for years on pfSense and 
stand-alone and love it.  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?

And yes Ken, I can attest that IPSec works for crap when the endpoint is a CCR.

You mean no encryption, it would be secured with username/password, right?  
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.
