Setting up an L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) server on MikroTik is a reliable way to provide secure remote access. For modern security standards, it is strongly recommended to pair L2TP with IPsec encryption. 1. Create an IP Pool
/ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=input dst-port=1701,500,4500 protocol=udp comment="Allow L2TP/IPsec" add action=accept chain=input protocol=ipsec-esp comment="Allow IPsec ESP" Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard 6. Verification and NAT (Optional) mikrotik l2tp server setup full
local-address – The IP that the router will use as the gateway for VPN clients.remote-address – The pool we created.use-encryption=required – Forces MPPE encryption (though L2TP itself is encrypted by IPsec).By the end of this article, you will have a fully functional L2TP/IPsec VPN server on your MikroTik RouterOS device (RB series, Cloud Core Router, or CHR).
