MikroTik RouterOS with OpenVPN for Windows

My last post was for Linux, and it seems Linux only. The Windows clients have quite an issue working with those settings.

To make the solution work for Windows, you need to:

1. Drop the IP pool and do local / remote address for each secret entry. Make sure they are 255.255.255.252 subnet.
2. PPP profile should only set that encryption is required.
3. Windows client cannot accept username / password from file. Change the "auth-user-pass" to be on its own line.
4. Use "route-up" to call a cmd file to set the routing rules.

Hope this still helps.

Cheers.

Netdata + SNMP + Mikrotik

Always wanted to see my Internet line usage as a gauge without having to log into the router.

CasparCG Simple Playlist

It is possible to build a simple playlist as a rundown in the CasparCG client. It will very simply play each item after each other that are on the same layer. In this very simple post I show how to build such a playlist including the very important step of activating the OSC. The Open Sound Control (OSC) implementation is how the client knows what the server is doing and then being able to send new command back to the server when a piece of media has ended to trigger playback of the next piece. For more details on the OCS, please see  http://casparcg.com/wiki/CasparCG_OSC_Protocol
