Mikrotik PPTP Client Setup

Here are step by step to setup PPTP Client on Mikrotik. First, create a new PPTP interface by click PPP menu, then add PPTP Client. Please make sure to enter the following data in the fields:
On General Tab :
  • Name: Anything you want, but if creating multiple connections it makes sense to name them like "pptp-out1"
  • Max MTU + Max MRU: Set to 1400
On Dial Out tab :
  • Connect To: IP or Host your VPN / PPTP server
  • User: Your VPN account username
  • Password: Your PPTP password.
  • Check "Dial On Demand" to ensure that the connection is being dialed when needed but disconnected.
  • Check "Add Default Route" to ensure correct traffic routing.
  • Allow: Leave all authentication methods checked, as it should be by default already.
  • Leave the "Enabled" checkbox unchecked, we still have to do some things.
  • Click on "OK".
Now please go to "IP" tab and select "Firewall" and "NAT".
  • In "Chain", select "srcnat", and check the "Enabled" checkbox.
  • In "Out. Interface", select the name of the PPTP VPN connection you just created and check its checkbox.
  • In "Action", select "Masquerade".
  • Click "OK".
Go the "Mangle" tab, select "Add new".
  • In "Chain", select "prerouting".
  • In "Src. Adress", enter the IP range you want to have routed through the VPN connection. To route all IPs in the Mikrotik routers subnet (assuming the router is 192.168.88.1), enter "192.168.88.2-192.168.88.254". Check the checkbox next to this field.
  • In "Action", select "mark routing".
  • In "New Routing Mark", here enter any name for the routing mark, e.g. "pptp-conn"
  • Click "OK".
Go to "IP" and then to "Routes" and "Add New".
  • Dst. Address: has to be "0.0.0.0/0".
  • Gateway: Here enter the name of the VPN connection you created. (e.g. "pptp-out1")
  • Routing Mark: select the routing mark you created before. (e.g. "pptp-conn")
  • Click "OK".
Go to "IP" and then to "DNS".
  • Select "Static" and now "Settings"
  • Check "Enabled"
  • In the "Servers" fields, enter OpenDNS servers,"8.8.8.8" into one field, and "8.8.4.4" into another.
  • Check "Allow Remote Requests".
  • Click "OK".
Now it depends: if you've set your gateway router to set the IPs for its connected devices automatically via DHCP, you need to change the DHCP-client settings of the Mikrotik router - otherwise it will override the DNS settings you've just set.
If you have set all IPs in your network manually, you can skip this step :
  • Go to "IP" and "DHCP Client".
  • Doubleclick your dhcp entry and then uncheck "Use Peer DNS".
  • Now click "OK."
That's all, now we're going to test the PPTP connection.
