The VPN is now configured, but two final steps are essential to make it work: allowing the VPN traffic through the firewall and enabling internet access (masquerading) for connected clients.

The router needs a dedicated pool of IP addresses to assign to incoming VPN clients. It is best practice to use a separate subnet from your local LAN to avoid IP conflicts. Via Winbox: Navigate to > Pool . Click the + (Add) button. Set Name to l2tp-vpn-pool . Set Addresses to 192.168.89.10-192.168.89.50 . Click OK .
