Hello folks,
I had a working tunnel (client) on a hAP Lite. Then all of a sudden it stopped working. The tunnel still connects me to the tunnel server, the cloud icon shows I"m connected, and I can navigate and see services hosted on my immediate neighbor node. A full mesh status page appears, either from my node or the one that is providing the tunnel to me.
However, all the links from there further don't work. I can't look at any remote nodes, and cannot open any services on remote nodes. These are all areas I could navigate to and use before.
The provider of the tunnel is very capable, and has others with working connections. We can't figure out what's the issue. Any ideas?

Can't navigate using Tunnel
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
Hmmmm.
I can navigate to my current neighbor (the tunnel server) but not to any Remote Nodes.
Does anyone want to see the Support Data to troubleshoot, or is this not relevant?

What version firmware and equipment involved? What changed?
MikroTik RouterBOARD 952Ui-5ac2nD (hAP ac lite)
New tunnel as previous server went away. Worked fine for a few days then symptoms as described above. Several nightly builds applied for the heck of it didn't fix anything. When I click a node or a service, a new window opens like it should, but nothing appears and the browser times out.

Well folks, it's fixed as of now. I'm waiting for the tunnel server provider to tell me what happened. If I can I'll share back here.
Thanks, Ed
Wonder what was found on the previous post about being unable to navigate across tunnel connections.
I have three MikroTik hAP lite routers, one is a tunnel server and two clients. About a month ago I noticed I could not connect to the remote tunnel nodes even though I showed the tunnels active and VoIP and other traffic passes across with no problem. All nodes are running the latest 3.22.12.0 firmware. Today I downgraded the server node to firmware version 3.22.8.0 and everything works as expected.
Is there a known bug in the 3.22.12.0 firmware? I've searched this thread and noticed multiple people reporting this but I don't see any resolution.

Is 'other traffic' by IP or name?

Were you trying to access by node name or IP address? I don't remember what versions have been affected, but there are some recent versions that have seen issues with node names not propagating properly.
Thanks for the reply. My problem is when I click on the node name links in the mesh status window. I get a message that the node cannot be found.
When I mention VoIP and other traffic passes across with no problem I am probably connecting via IP address. An example, N1MM networking works fine and SIP traffic is OK also. So I guess the problem is a node name issue. I was unaware there was an issue with node name propagation. I'll reinstall the latest firmware release & try connecting via IP address. But in my opinion, node name is the way to go.

You may be experiencing this issue which was fixed in mid-February and is available in the Nightly Build firmware.
Thanks for the updated info...Early to mid February is about the time I upgraded my hardware from Ubiquiti to MikroTik so I downloaded what was then the latest firmware, not knowing about the bug. Been trying to troubleshoot since then. Good to know the fix is in the nightly build. I'll update the firmware tonight.

On 3.23.8.0 I was able to navigate tunnels. After upgrading to a nightly update last week I was initially able to navigate tunnels and Cloud Mesh however I have lost this capability. I reverted back to 3.23.8.0 and still can't navigate tunnels. :( Data does seem to cross the tunnel fine.

The changes needed for your localnode to become 'supernode-aware' are in the latest nightly build. It's needed for proper behavior. I suspect you have something else going on there. There was some discussion of some route flapping going on in the supernodes which would impact your ability to get anywhere on the Cloud Mesh. There's been a patch issued for that but it won't appear until the next nightly build (sometime in December probably).

Hi, David:
If "reverted back to 3.23.8.0 and still can't navigate tunnels",
Then perhaps the problem exists at the other end of your tunnel.
