VPN

This documentation section will introduce you to our VPN solution designed for seamless integration with your existing MikroTik devices. This overview will guide you through the essential aspects of the VPN service, including pricing, setup and key security considerations, providing the groundwork you need before implementation.

How it Works

The VPN instances share the same seat-based licensing model as your existing MikroCloud enabled MikroTik devices.

Here's a breakdown of how it works:

Seat Usage: To create a VPN server, you must have at least 10 free seats available. Each user or site that you add to the VPN instance occupies one seat.

  • 1 user = 1 seat
  • 1 site = 1 seat

Let's say that you have 25 licenses in your account, and you already have 10 sites configured, that means that you have 15 seats available. When you set up a VPN instance, it reserves 10 seats.

  • The first 10 sites or users you add to this VPN instance will utilize these reserved seats.
  • after filling these, any further sites or users will use the remaining seats.

For instance, let's say you now add another 10 sites and 5 users to the VPN instance, you will have used up all 25 seats.

  • To add more sites or users beyond this, you will need to upgrade your subscription to allocate additional seats.

VPN Limits and Expansion:

Currently, you are limited in the following ways for the VPN service.

  • Instances: Each account is limited to 10 VPN instances
    • This can be increased upon request.
  • Sites Per VPN Instance: Up to 250 sites can be added to a single VPN instance.
  • Users Per VPN Instance: Up to 250 Users can be added to a single VPN instance.

The service provides flexibility and scalability, allowing you to tailor your VPN setup to meet your needs while ensuring you stay within your licensing capacity.

Now, let's get you set up for the VPN service.

VPN Setup

This document outlines the process for configuring and deploying the VPN Service on your MikroTik devices. Setting up a VPN is a critical step in configuring a true SD-WAN solution for your business. This service also enables you to set up a VPN between your remote devices like phones, laptops, tablets, etc.
