Building Dynamic Mesh VPN Network using MikroTik Router
S H Kurniadi, Ema Utami, Ferry Wahyu Wibowo · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2018
Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) is a VPN technology to form an automatic, fast, and dynamic logical mesh network. DMVPN is a proprietary technology from Cisco, so this technology is not available on MikroTik routers. Although not equipped with the DMVPN technology, MikroTik scripting and scheduler feature can help to make the network becomes a DMVPN network. This paper discusses the usage of OpenVPN and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) to form a Dynamic Mesh VPN network using MikroTik routers inside the GNS3 simulation environment. The final part of this study proves that this solution can help the routers that do not equipped with the DMVPN technology to form a Dynamic Mesh VPN network
