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.
