OVPN

OVPN Client Setup

OpenVPN (OVPN) provides flexible encrypted tunneling. MikroTik supports OVPN in TCP mode. This is also compatible with Adopisoft setups.

Before You Start

You need a MikRouter remote account with an active subscription.
Open Winbox and connect to your MikroTik router via MAC or IP address.
Have your remote account credentials ready: PPP Username, PPP Password, and Server Address.
These credentials are available in your dashboard under the remote details page.

Open PPP Interface

In Winbox, navigate to PPP.

Add OVPN Client

Click the + (Add) button and select OVPN Client from the dropdown list.

Verify Connection

Check PPP›Interface for the R flag. OVPN connections may take slightly longer due to TCP overhead. If it fails, verify the port is correct and not blocked by your ISP.
