My experience with RouterOS and OpenVPN isn't that good. Whenever you type in the wrong password is just keeps trying to connect instead of giving an authentication failure warning. You also can't use the "Force AES-CBC ciphersuites" option.

For now I'm using pfSense, although I don't use it with xx000's users, but have used it with x00's users without any problem.
