Setting up a VPN in MikrotikOS to share internet

During the past few weeks I have received numerous requests about users asking me to help them set up a PPTP VPN tunnel between two Mikrotik devices to share internet, so I thought it couldn’t do any harm in writing a nice little how to.

We are going to start with the Mikrotik router providing the internet, please make sure that the router is already internet enabled and that you can ping internet sites from it.

Log in to the router using Winbox, and click on the PPP link to open up the PPP settings page. First we enable the PPTP server on the router by clicking settings button and ticking enabled and then apply.
