MikroTik Router - Configure PPTP VPN Server and Windows VPN Client #5

PPTP Server (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol ) or VPN server (Virtual Private Network) is used by ISP, cable network operator to provide internet service to their subscriber as well as used by enterprise and small business to access their office network over the Internet. MikroTik routerOS has multiple services that can be configured for NAT, internet sharing and site to site tunneling. So let see how to setup PPTP VPN Server on a MikroTik Router.
I assume that you have already configured MikroTik LAN/ WAN / DNS IP address.

1. Login to your MikroTik Router using winbox
2. Goto IP -> IP Pool 
3. Click + Enter 
• Name of IP Pool (PPTP-IP-Pool1 in my case), 
• Addresses (172.16.10.0/24 in my case) any private class ip range and 
• Click OK
4. Now Click PPP -> Interface tab
5. Click PPTP Server button 
• Check Enable 
• Select pap, mschap1 and mschap2 
• Click OK
6. Now Click on Profile tab then Click +
• On General tab
1. Ente Name (512Kbps-PPTP-profile1 in my case)
2. Local address as PPTP-IP-Pool1
3. Remote address as PPTP-IP-Pool1
• Then click on Limits tab and enter 
1. Rate Limit (rx/tx) (256K/512K in my case) Upload / Download Limit
2. Click OK
7. Now Click on Secret tab and then click +
1. Enter Name (pptp2 in my case)
2. Enter Password (pptp2 in my case)
3. Select Service as pptp
4. Select Profile (512Kbps-PPTP-profile1 in my case)
5. Click OK
8. Add and NAT Rule in Firewall for PPTP-IP-Pool 

Now time to test your PPTP Server

Login your Windows Machine (Windows XP in my case) and create a PPTP VPN Dialup connection

Enter the username and password created in MikroTik (pptp2/pptp2) and connect

It will connect to your MikroTik PPTP VPN Server and now can access internet via PPTP VPN service
