The Lab

Complete remote user VPN configurations using WireGuard and L2TP/IPsec. Includes server setup, client configurations for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android, user management, access controls, and troubleshooting. Choose WireGuard for speed or L2TP for built-in OS support.

Simple 5-minute WireGuard VPN setup between two MikroTik routers. Modern encryption, faster than IPsec, easier troubleshooting. Includes interface creation, peer configuration, routing, firewall rules, and support for hub-and-spoke topologies.

Complete copy-paste ready IPsec VPN configuration for connecting two sites. Includes peer configuration, proposal settings, policy setup, firewall rules, NAT exceptions, and troubleshooting. Best for MikroTik-to-non-MikroTik or when IPsec is required.

Deploy working VPN in 30 minutes with copy-paste templates. Four scenarios: Site-to-Site WireGuard (20 min), IPsec (30 min), Remote User WireGuard (25 min), and L2TP/IPsec (30 min). Includes verification checklists and common adjustments for quick implementation.

Systematic VPN troubleshooting with diagnostic commands for IPsec, WireGuard, and L2TP. Solve six common problems: tunnel establishment failures, handshake issues, connectivity problems, random disconnects, client connection failures, and slow performance with decision trees.

Provide secure remote access with WireGuard (fast, requires client) or L2TP/IPsec (built-in OS support). Create IP pools, configure authentication, set up clients for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android, manage user access, and control network permissions with firewall rules.

Modern alternative to IPsec using public/private key pairs. Create WireGuard interfaces, generate and exchange keys, configure peers with allowed addresses, and set up routing. Faster setup (5-8 min vs 15-20 for IPsec) with fewer settings and simpler troubleshooting.

Connect two offices with IPsec VPN. Step-by-step configuration covering two-phase negotiation, peer setup, pre-shared keys, proposals, and policies. Includes required firewall rules, NAT considerations, testing procedures, and troubleshooting decision trees for common issues.

Compare VPN protocols: WireGuard (modern, fast, simple), IPsec (industry standard, interoperable), L2TP/IPsec (built-in OS support), and why to avoid PPTP. Includes decision matrix for choosing the right protocol based on your scenario and performance needs.

Set up VPNs that work: site-to-site and remote user access. Learn WireGuard, IPsec, and L2TP protocols in 77 minutes. Choose the right protocol, configure connections, troubleshoot systematically, and deploy working VPNs in 30 minutes with copy-paste templates.
