VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that provides a secure and encrypted tunnel across public networks. Private network user can send and receive data to any remote private network through VPN tunnel as if his/her network device was directly connected to that private network.

MikroTik Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is one of the secure VPN technologies that transports PPP tunnel over TLS channel. SSTP uses TLS channel over TCP port 443 which is popularly used for secure WEB data transmission. So, SSTP VPN can virtually pass through all firewalls and proxy servers because any firewall must keep open 443 port. Because of using TLS channel, encrypted data passes over SSTP VPN Tunnel. So, there is no chance to steal data by a middle man attacker and data can send and receive across public network safely. MikroTik SSTP Server can be applied in two methods.

• Connecting from remote workstation/client: In this method, SSTP VPN client software can communicate with MikroTik SSTP VPN Server over Secure VPN tunnel whenever required and can access remote private network as if it was directly connected to that remote private network.
• Site to Site SSTP VPN: This method is also known as VPN between routers. In this method, an SSTP client supported router always establishes a SSTP VPN tunnel with MikroTik SSTP VPN Server. So, private networks of these two routers can communicate with each other as if they were directly connected to the same router.

The goal of this video tutorial is to connect a remote client device over secure SSTP VPN Tunnel across public network. So, in this video I will only show how to configure MikroTik SSTP VPN Server for connecting a remote workstation/client (Windows 10 Client) across public network.
