Hi Everyone
I am starting this thread due to a lack of knowledge on the subject so let me explain my situation. This is how my network is configured:
OpenServ Fibre Router (Nokia)-> Cool Ideas ISP (PPPOE) -> Unify USG Router -> Mirkotik 24 Port Cloud Switch (Configured as just a switch)->
LAN 1 (VPN1) 192.168.1.x
LAN 1 (VPN2) 192.168.10.x
LAN 1 (VPN3) 192.168.100.x
Last night I was trying to setup a new Mikrotik. I normally connect the unit to my existing network using a specific port on the existing Mikrotik and connect to the Mac address with Winbox for configuration. By absolute chance I accidentally selected the option to connect to the IP address and suddenly I got the notification that I could not connect due to incorrect username/password. Knowing that this was not possible as the 192.168.88.x range is not configured on my network I decided to ping the IP address and got a reply that should not be possible.
Running a trace route I could see that the IP address was located in front of my USG router outside my network.
So I disconnected all my equipment after the OpenServ Router and connected it directly to my laptop. From here I could ping the following addresses:
192.168.10.1 , 4 ,6 , 5
192.168.11.1 ,5, 6
192.168.88.1
My question is then are these setups on the OpenServ router and how is this possible (Routing/Setup issue)? How do I get this fixed?
I can clearly see from the tracert that 192.168.88.1 is located behind 192.168.11.6 and that it is someone else's Mikrotik/Equipment the same goes for 192.168.10.x. In the mean time I have added a Firewall rule on my USG to block all incoming/outgoing WAN communication to those IP ranges but would need to update these rules continuously if more addresses crop up and that is both not ideal and also not secure.
