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

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

@marcuse Ja, die Lernkurve ist verdammt steil… Vorsicht: Extreme Suchtgefahr!!! Ich spreche da aus über 10jähriger-#Mikrotik-Erfahrung 😆

Ticket prices for next year’s #MikroTik Professionals Conference are reduced until October 31st. Early birds really do catch the worm as space is also limited for the VIP Dinner so please make sure you book your tickets early rather than at the last minute and find we’re sold out. See https://mtpc.world for more info. Also we’re now calling for presenters for MikroTik related tech talks. Got a great solution using their gear? Tell us about it and you could be presenting it in March! 😀 #MTPC

We are proud to announce the third and highly successful MikroTik Professionals Conference will be held at the Hotel Duo in Prague on the 12th to 13th March 2026.
Tickets are now on sale on our website https://mtpc.world
After negotiations with the hotel, event tickets are now a lower cost than last year and we’ve also managed to negotiate a 40% discount on hotel rooms, so along with low cost flights to/from Prague you now have no excuse to miss the biggest 100% #MikroTik event in Europe 😀

Network Monitoring Part 2

https://blog.hardill.me.uk/2025/09/23/network-monitoring-part-2/

After moving my network setup to a rack I needed to finish configuring my new router (a MikroTik L009UiGS), one of the things I needed to setup was some better network monitoring.

I have previously played with this using Suricata and inserting a small managed switch to act as a network tap. This worked pretty well, but was only monitoring a small subsection of my LAN.

With the new router it […]

It looks my #MikroTik router supports port mirroring.

This should make doing traffic analysis a lot easier and mean I don't need to stick an extra switch in the mix as an Ethernet tap
