New madness: DNS Bypass Mitigation on RouterOS

I've been experimenting with the container support in MikroTik RouterOS 7.x. Over the past week I've deployed my own binary in a container on a RB5009 router. A simple webserver which compiles down to a single static binary, which I build on a raspberry pi4 and then save/export and move to the router. #mikrotik #routeros #containers #golang https://bgp.guru/2025/07/16/routeros-7-container-test/

I seem to have lost the forum post/blog post.

It was how to setup VXLAN + VLAN on a bridge on #mikrotik #routeros

It went over how to setup hw offload and map vxlan - vlan on a bridge (that also had hw vlan filtering) to them push through those VLANs over L3 to a VM running in the edge.

If you know the post or a similar one, please point me to it! <3

Warmer weather is predicted! Hurrah! We are looking forward to working in Rīga for the next two weeks and as it’s June, some sunshine would be a delight! I will be teaching an MTCNA and MTCEWE at the #MikroTik #RouterOS Training Centre plus an extra one day’s DeepDive into advanced wireless RouterOS topics. Excited to be there and cannot wait to see old friends and family again. https://toot.lv/@LSM_Eng_rss/114652349193845867

I don't need this for the home lab (and other things I tell myself).

This is a 1U box with 22 NVMe disk slots (2 internal) and all the networking I would ever need.

I’m no #Mikrotik specialist and have not configured many devices wirh #RouterOS.
Calling a product ‘Enterprise’ when I need to reboot the #RDS2216 after installing a package (Containers). Does not seem ‘Enterprise’ level to me.
An install/start/restart/stop/uninstall cycle would.

I like the new #Mikrotik #RouterOS 7.17 web interface.

Wrote a guide on setting up remote logging with Promtail, Loki and Grafana for @mikrotik #RouterOS https://kaspars.net/blog/remote-logging-mikrotik-routeros

Oh, well... turns out @mikrotik #routeros has a bug where remote syslog doesn't work over UDP if (!) multiple topics are selected. The exact same config works fine over TCP.

Ok, new @mikrotik@mikrotik.social hAP ax³ is up and running!

A short review:

RouterOS is quite easy to set up as it comes with some sane defaults. With those defaults you don't have to touch the firewall rules, they're set to protect you from the scary outside world already. Opening ports can be done in the NAT rules, which is straightforward if you've ever done it on your ISP router.

To get internet from my ISP I had to add a VLAN with ID 300, then assign that VLAN to the WAN group. The DHCP client grabbed an IP for me and I was up and running. Assigning static DHCP leases is straightforward, so I did that before swapping my ISP router with the hAP.

WiFi was set up out of the box, but it seems Windows (still) doesn't understand that it should go for the fastest network, so it kept hopping between 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but after renaming the 2.4GHz network to something else that wasn't an issue anymore. It seems Steering can prevent that too?

WiFi performance seems comparable to my ISP provided router, though I'm no longer on 2Gbit/s anymore, I'm on 400mbit/s now, so there's no way I'd get a solid gigabit/s over WiFi anyway, though maybe I can set up iPerf locally?

Pet peeve: I liked the theme before I updated to the latest version better. Now I need more clicks to open menus :(

All in all, a solid choice, and it should have lower power usage than my ISP provided router, which is a great bonus.

MikroTik released #RouterOS v7 Stable version 7.18.2. https://mikrotik.com/download

Ha! Great news from #MikroTik #RouterOS changelog. Looks like somebody finally tried to use #DHCPv6 Relay and figured out it was completely useless for DHCP-PD.

7.18
*) dhcpv6-relay - added option to create routes for bindings passing through relay;
7.18.1
*) dhcpv6-relay - clear saved routes on DHCP release;
