If you trust your phone, (and things that might be tethered to it), I would perhaps make wireguard1 a member of the LAN interface list,
and remove access to port 53 externally.

If you don't trust it, allow access to DNS from 10.3.53.0/24 should be sufficient.

rplant

I'll likely need to add more routing rules to tell the IP space to follow the other path if needed if I'm understanding correctly.

Yes, I think so.

rplant

Hi,

Not sure,

Other People have had somewhat similar issues and had to change the port wireguard was listening on
which fixed the problem (for a while).

I think remove interface and peer, and recreate them.
Maybe with a reboot somewhere.

You could export current config (with show-sensitive) and try to recreate them with same keys as previous, and see if they magically work again

If not, recreate them from scratch.

Multiple OVPN servers only available in very recent RouterOS.

Some reasons for wireguard not working (no reply):

Possibly modified private keys. (Seemed to maybe be an issue with Mikrotiks at an earlier stage)
Incorrect public keys on endpoints. (Perhaps caused by previous issue)
Incorrect (different) date/time on peers

rplant

My Thoughts Conclusion: Add the following rule (above the default masq rule) /ip firewall nat add action=accept chain=srcnat src-address=xx.xx.xx.29 Or maybe xx.xx.xx.28/31 on recent versions of routeros. Reasoning: The connection out from wireguard back to the caller is a new connection (not the sa...

Routing marks that are assigned to route tables have a very high priority. There are a few options: 1. You can force the packets to go via the routing rules, where you can set local network routes to be preferred. 2. You can mark only the packets that need to leave your network. 3. You can add addit...

It might be enough if you can add some static routes to your main gateways (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.70.1 (77.1?))

on 192.168.1.1 add a static route 192.168.70.0/24 is via 192.168.1.198

You could try adding a queue to the WAN ethernet port, so it tries to keep it inside 100M upload limit. Something like: /queue type add kind=cake name=cake-up /queue tree add bucket-size=0.01 max-limit=100M name=qOut packet-mark=no-mark parent=ether1 queue=cake-up (should ether1 be ether8?)

Hi, In many/most cases with a static IP address, you should get it from the ISP using dhcp or pppoe. Static meaning they always give you the same ip address, not that you set it up yourself.

It seems maybe a bit flaky.
Perhaps contact your Mikrotik distributor.

I would try tcp mss clamping matched to below whatever the underlying vpn mtu is.

A couple of thoughts. 1. Usually if you are given a static ip address by your ISP, you don't put it in manually.

You often need to src-nat the port from your ntp-client (So it looks like it's coming from a high port rather than port 123) As ISP's, ntp servers will often block ntp from port 123, (which Mikrotik's ntp client uses).

Note: The CRS326 does do hardware L3 offloading. So for internal intervlan switching (Routing) use it may well be ok.

rplant

One thing I checked was:
You want the wireguard interface to be a member of the WAN list, (and very likely don't want it to be a member of the LAN list)

rplant

That seems like it should be running as a basic L2 switch, so should not be using much CPU at all
(given its default configuration usually contains very little)

Perhaps export and post its config.

/export file=anynameyouwish (Edit and remove router serial number, ID, public WANIP info, keys etc.)

rplant

Hi,
Given the routed configuration you have.

A possible option is:
You could create an ip vrf (eg. vrf5)
And attach to it the interfaces bridge5, wlan2 and ether5.

That might work.
Sorry I know little about vrfs.

rplant

You don't seem to have any masquerade/srcnat on ether3.

rplant

Based on the original question, You should have NO dhcp (server or client) or ip address on either bridgeWL1 or bridgeWL2. However this does make it difficult to manage. If these 2 bridges and attached interfaces are the ONLY connected interfaces on the router, you can probably add a dhcp client to ...

rplant

Hi,

You probably shouldn't have ip addresses on these 2 bridges/interfaces.
That should be handled by the modem, which would have a dhcp server on it.

rplant

You can possibly add a macvlan to the vlan, and then add your new PPPoE client to the macvlan (which has a different mac address).

rplant

Assuming near default config. A quick and dirty solution. I would create 2 additional bridges. bridgeWL1 and bridgeWL2 Both with protocol-mode=none (no rstp) Then in bridge ports add ether1 to bridgeWL1 and move WLAN1 to bridgeWL1 and also move ether5 and WLAN2 to bridgeWL2 Remove the ip dhcp-client...

If you have a FB as a gateway firewall router, you may be able to use the CRS326 without any additional routers.

The fact that logging has the option of a source IP address, and ignores it seems like a bug. Though it might be your config. (Given Wan interfaces usually have some sort of src-nat/masquerade) Do you have a src-nat rule for the wan interface that might apply in this case. You could put in a specifi...

You possibly also need a bridge nat rule to kick the packet into the routing section of the device.

Something like:

Hi,

There are 2 items, the max neighbor entries and Arp Timeout

A few points: The following assumes a config sort of based on default (for SOHO type routers, not CCR, etc which have no firewall rules). I am assuming you have nat. In this case an incoming connection on Wan1 must then also leave by Wan1. (Same for Wan2) Otherwise it just doesn't work. (Often true ...

It will block people/devices on the internet from attempting to login to your router.

Or maybe someone or something is somehow logged into or has a vpn into your gateway router, working on the next step.

This kind of looks like what you would get, if your gateway was also a Mikrotik, and it had hairpin nat enabled for a SSH port forward/dst-nat connection to the internal router. (With attempted logins from inside)

rplant

Yes, drop by mac address doesn't work at the router stage. You could connect only the Reolink to a specific ethernet port on the router, and block based on port. You could give the Reolink a static lease from the DHCP server, and block based on IP address. (From winbox, go to ip dhcp server, the lea...

One other thought

If you have an interface that is not part of the bridge, but has an IP address on it, it will route using hw offload.
However if you have a vlan on this interface with an IP address on it, the vlan will use the CPU.

rplant

Perhaps try the following commands to see if L3 offload is not present somewhere. With 400+ routes, you might want to write it to a file, so you can examine it in a text editor or similar. /ip route print [file=somefilename] Flags: D - DYNAMIC; A - ACTIVE; c - CONNECT, o - OSPF, d - DHCP; H - HW-OFF...

If its running v7, use a cake queue that should (hopefully) allow you to near fill the uplink, while also giving everything else in your network a bit of bandwidth rather than being starved out because of the fat upload.

One possibility. Seems unlikely, but you do have a wanIP as an address list.

Some possible options: If you make a custom interface list and add all the ports you want (but not the bridge) to this list, you can make ip discovery use this list and it will only target those ports.
