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/

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...

MTCRE 1.4 Understanding Scope and Target Scope
https://zpr.io/y7YZ2cUyA9XC
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. 😜

Proof of concept lab complete (RFC 1925 Truth 1 has been satisfied) and my MikroTik Professionals Conference presentation request has been submitted. Now to start working on the actual presentation in case they actually say yes. #MTPC #MikroTik #NetEng

Customer calls and says a ClaudeGPT generated #MikroTik script won’t run without errors and they’re fast running out of time to get it fixed and no matter how they tell the AI it doesn’t work, it continues to spit out code that has errors they don’t know how to fix. It’s hallucinated CLI commands that simply don’t exist! Also doesn’t even have the correct syntax. It looks great code to the untrained eye but it’s AI slop. I do love the way AI is creating work for me at the moment 🤣

Many have already taken advantage of our early bird pricing for the #MikroTik Professionals Conference but it may be prudent to buy your tickets before the price goes up at the weekend! 😉 We are also very interested in hearing from anyone who wishes to present a MikroTik related topic. https://mtpc.world/ #MTPC #Conference #Prague

It's been a long day. Tomorrow though, I really need this MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe, running the home router, to be quiet. Therefore, lay in bed, figure out which Thermal Grizzly conductive pad is most appropriate for replacement between the NIC's heatsink.. and maybe there a STL file for making a carbon fitment plus copper core (taken from an old Broadwell system, heatsink with a couple of blah blah blah... yep. Go to sleep brain, stop this, maybe more tomorrow.

So GPT-Pro and Deep Research... tell me what to buy.

New blog post! My adventures in IPv6 in the homelab

https://blog.transitory.social/posts/2025-10-25-adventures-in-ipv6/

It covers going from an IPv4 only to Mikrotik config, all the way to getting Kubernetes running in dual stack mode with pods and services assigned IPv6 addresses

(Note: I have enabled a cache middleware on the blog, so if that explodes someone give a shout and I'll disable it ;) )

I just discovered how good MikroTik routers (all devices in general) are.

RouterOS 7 looks amazing and the web UI is clean, powerful, and fast. Can’t believe I wasted money on cheap TP-Link and Cudy routers that broke when I tried to install OpenWRT. MikroTik gives you real control, pro-level features, and solid firmware right out of the box.

Wish I knew about them earlier. 🥹

@rainer Gerade „mal eben“ getestet und es rockt! Leider habe ich den tor-proxy noch als docker container auf meinem #proxmox laufen und nicht als #mikrotik container.

Eine Test-Linux-VM ist jetzt torifiziert und

meldet

„Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor.“

\o/

Oh, #Routeros von #Mikrotik kann neuerdings (seit Version 7.20) jedweden TCP-Traffic durch #Tor routen.
Das will ich mir unbedingt mal ansehen.
