Hello, my turn to be switched over to the new gigabit Spark plan. It was switched before I awoke this morning.

 

I reset the Mikrotik 4011 configuration to start again, no biggie thats ok. 

 

I have the internet all working.

 

Please could someone check my firewall rules for me, these are the out of the box from the quick configuration presented when you first login to the router.

 

The screenshots and some of the wording from previous guides on here are now different. 

 

ShieldsUP scan show no issue. 

 

I will need to add a rule to allow OpenVPN connection at some point in the future.

 

Also, is it easier to enable uPNP for Xbox network, or could someone help me with specific rules and how to actually add them?

 

 

 

cheers

Typically you would give ether1 an MTU of 1512, ether1.10 MTU of 1508 and PPPoE MTU of 1500.

ether1 - 1512

 

ether 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 - 1508

 

I'm unable to change the PPPoE MTU which is set to 1480 - If I click on Interface, pppoe-out1, the MTU value is greyed out

My reference to ether1.10 refers to the vlanid=10 interface on ether1 that the PPPoE client is on.

 

You would edit the Max MTU and Max MRU figures on PPPoE interface.

I got you. I will test this later. We are into the day with school Teams calls and online meetings.

 

Cheers Spyware, no doubt I will call upon your expertise later mate. 

 

Especially with FW rules for OpenVPN and Xbox. If I can avoid uPNP that would be tops
