I am waiting for so long for this huge improvement in 7.21:

*) wireguard - allow to add AllowedIPs configuration for client configuration template;

#mikrotik

#MikroTik #RouterOS - #Stable vs. #Longterm!

There is a new stable #MikroTik #RouterOS version: v7.21 - Please backup first!

But wait a minute.... From now on, there is also a long term version (e.g. v7.20.7)! Hold that in mind, before you update!

I have now reset my shiny new RB5009 four (4) times because I keep messing up the VLAN config.

Fun stuff.

Have updated the internet setup at our static home. Someone has been taking my wifi advice and turned off a few 2.4GHz radios on their new Unifi install at the clubhouse 500m away. Have swung the #MikroTik LHG52 round a bit and found a 5GHz SSID I can connect to very well. Have also added an old LHG-LTE as a quick test backup. If tests for a couple of days show it works ok, I’ll order an ATL and sort out the CAT5 mess. Both LHGs are powered by a PowerBox with recursive routing for failover. 👌

Vertically looking upwards photo of a TV antenna pole mounted on the side of a static mobile home. On the pole is a UHF TV aerial and a pair of MikroTiks. Top one is a dual band LHG52 dish, lower one is a temporary LHG-LTE dish. CAT5 and coax cables are not neatly tied to the pole yet. The photo also shows a conifer tree and a clear night sky with stars clearly visible.

Playground setup with Raspberry Pi 5 and Mikrotik hEX router.

The Pi, with a M.2 HAT+ Compact, is running Raspberry Pi OS Desktop.

The hEX is running RouterOS 7.20.6, without a default configuration. Right now it's acting more like a switch.

I'm using Raspberry Pi Connect to access the Pi from outside my home network, and mostly ssh and WinBox to access the devices when inside, but Connect also works here.

oh, didn't notice #mikrotik #routeros 7.20.x was out. nice.

@lexinova @mikrotik DDNS service from #mikrotik works fine and is dead simple.

/ip/cloud/set ddns-enabled=yes

And do not forget to set the wg-client settings on the „server“ side as responder.

latest ROS (7.21rc3) lets you finally define the allowed IP parameter for the client in the responders settings to generate a complete client configuration for c&p / QRCODE

Any #mikrotik enthusiasts at #39c3 ?

A smiling man (me) stands indoors in front of light-colored curtains, holding two brown cardboard boxes labeled “Chateau series” by MikroTik, one in each hand, while wearing a green jacket over a dark sweater.

Just got back from the local @mikrotik distributor with a load of "toys" for a new job for a client.
The next few days are going to be fun!

A large cardboard shipping box filled with multiple Mikrotik product packages. Most of the boxes are labeled “RB5009 series” with the Mikrotik logo and a geometric patterned design. Additional Mikrotik boxes, including some from the “Cloud Router Switch series”, are partially visible underneath. The boxes are neatly arranged and are new and unopened.

I do love #mikrotik and #vxlan running over #wireguard! Rock solid! ❤️

No turkey and stuffing for me, but containers and VMs? Sure. Let's make #MikroTik #CHR images a bit friendlier for declarative #containerlab use. #RouterOS #NetEng #vrnetlab https://ghostinthenet.info/chr-in-containerlab/

@stefano @mikrotik I currently use a Flint 2 router by Glinet with WireGuard. It works well in general, but the performance (speed) for large local transfers is not very good. Which #MikroTik (wireless + ethernet) router would you recommend for a household with 5 (heavy) network users?

I will be delivering a #Mikrotik MTCNA at #LinITX’s HQ at Needham Market in Suffolk. The location has multiple cheap hotels nearby and is served by fast trains from Ipswich and London but even if you’re not in the UK, London Stansted Airport is also not that far away. Join me for three days of intense RouterOS learning. Theory and loads of labs. What’s not to enjoy? Oh, did I not mention the exam? If you pass you’ll even get a free certificate. 😀 https://linitx.com/product/Ron/18210

Google’s brain fart when I asked about reproducing a stock #MikroTik configuration in FreeBSD.

Alt...

Google basic AI is convinced you simply use the MikroTik configuration import command on FreeBSD because why not?

I built a local YacY search install a month or two back. Don’t understand 90% of the backend settings but I’m sure I’ll figure that out with time. Have told it to crawl only trusted #MikroTik resources every few days. Boy is it fast at generating me results. Zero adverts. Zero unknown algorithms pushing one site above another. I love it. Use it every day now over of any other search engine when researching anything MikroTik related. Have also now added some Ham Radio sites to crawl too

Alt...

Screenshot of YacY search engine results. An example of searching for “CVE” results in just a list of trusted MikroTik sources of information without adverts etc.

MTCRE 1.4 Understanding Scope and Target Scope

Learn why recursive static routes in #mikrotik fail when resolver routes are inactive and how scope/target-scope control route visibility. This #mtcre lab explains how next-hop resolution works and why adjusting target-scope restores full connectivity.

@net_gremlin

Du hast wahrscheinlich recht, aber eines nach dem anderen. Wenn überhaupt, würde ich vielleicht die #Fritzbox durch einen #Mikrotik #Router ersetzen. Es sieht aber so aus, als hätte alles wie gewünscht geklappt. Ziel war es, herauszufinden, ob das normale Internet weiterläuft – und das hat funktioniert. Wobei er noch auf einem öffentlichen IPv6-DNS stand, während IPv4 bereits wieder über den Pi-Hole lief. Aber das passt schon. Wichtig ist nur, dass die Frau mich nicht anruft, während ich unterwegs bin. 😜
