In the third step, we will try to access the FabrikaM server (not highlighted here) either using its internal Web server or just by ping. In the second step, they will use that link to establish the SSTP VPN connection to the FabrikaM router.

In the first step, all clients will establish the PPPoE connection with the MegaISP Access Router. These two Mikrotik devices will use the same mechanism as Windows clients in order to connect to the network. In addition, I updated the FabrikaM router from ROS 4.17 to 6.39.3 LTS. However, the differences are that we can’t use the Remote User #1 with the Windows XP machine. In this scenario, I will use the same devices in my virtual network as for the PPTP scenario:

MikroTik RouterOS server (this article).You can find the following tutorials related to the SSTP VPN clients on my blog: When Windows VPN client is set to automatic, this protocol will be selected before L2TP/IPSec or PPTP.

It has been developed as the client side VPN solution with idea to primary replace much weaker and older PPTP protocol. Therefore, I concluded that those two platforms are not supported. ) I tried the different VPN clients for Android (on Android 5 and 9) and Cisco An圜onnect on iOS 12.4 here in my lab and I didn’t succeed at all. I found information that the Cisco Anyconnect client (available on the Apple Store) should support SSTP on iOS. There are also the open-source clients for Linux (I can’t confirm will it work) and for Android. You can have both client and server on both platforms. It’s well supported in Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 and later and MikroTik RouterOS v5.0 and later. This protocol is declared as the Open Specification protocol, with the specification published on the Microsoft Docs portal. SSTP was first introduced back in 2007 in Windows Vista SP1/Windows 7/Server 2008. As this protocol is based on the same mechanism as the Secured Web (HTTPS) protocol, it will pass virtually through every firewall or proxy server. The Microsoft Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is the VPN technology based on the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over Secured Socket Layer (SSL).
