OpenVPN is a very good product, but I would also suggest you look at IKE built-in VPN technologies in the Cisco based RV series of routers. Using the VPN built in your site gateway router, allows for a much cleaner integrated implementation of site to site VPN¹s. A key here is to reduce, if not eliminate the use of port forwarding on your router. There are many offerings for VPN technologies. ³Your requirements² will drive which one is the best for you.

For open VPN tutorial goto the HAK5 podcast. It has gotten a lot easier with newer releases. Several recent episodes on setting up your own VPN connection.

Skyler. The answer in this case is to us a VPN to your home or other location that Internet with a Public IP address. You effectively run a tunnel to that IP and that is the on you control. You are creating a tunnel from that location to your wireless site. One of the most popular is OpenVPN but has a steep learning curve. A good alterternatin is Softether https://www.softether.org/ from Japan, it is open source, emulates openVPN and others and allows a vpn connection. It is available for Window, Mac and Linux so should be east to add.

We are getting internet from a microwave link wireless ISP on a mountiantop. According to Mountain Broadband, ports are not blocked, and they don't have a firewall.
However, when I plug my computer or router into the jack, I am automatically assigned a 10.1.50.x address. Why is this happening? I never requested an IP manually, it assigned me a DHCP IP.
Inbound ports are all blocked to my router behind the DHCP IP address when I try to login under the public IP.
However... the mountaintop site has a static Public IP that is unique to itself.
Can someone explain how this works, and what information I need exactly to get inbound port forwarding to work to my mikrotik router from whatever Mountain Broadband has behind it ?
