I'm currently running version 17.8.2 and have switched from OpenVPN to WireGuard. Unfortunately, WireGuard, like OpenVPN, does not support multicast forwarding.
To work around this, I considered setting up a small Debian-based Linux server (LinuxPC) connected to my MikroTik router. The LinuxPC would act as a proxy using the udp-proxy-2020 service. Instead of connecting the RemotePC directly to the MikroTik router via VPN, the RemotePC would establish a Wireguard VPN session with the LinuxPC instead — something that's relatively easy to set up and it works without problems.
The idea is that the LinuxPC would join the multicast group on behalf of the RemotePC, convert the multicast traffic to unicast, and then send it through the WireGuard tunnel to the RemotePC. However, I'm struggling to get this working properly.
Has anyone successfully implemented a similar setup?
