Part 5: Critical Security Tweaks (Don't Skip) A generator gets you 80% of the way. You need the final 20% for security. 1. Enable TLS Authentication If your generator supports it, add tls-auth . This prevents DoS attacks and unauthorized probe packets. You must generate a ta.key and reference it both on the MikroTik ( tls-auth=yes under ovpn-server) and in the client OVPN file ( tls-auth ta.key 1 ). 2. Restrict VPN to Specific Source IPs (Optional) If your remote employees have static WAN IPs, add this to the firewall:
