Your config has many errors in it, but more importantly your config also doesnt seem to match your intentions.

ROS without config should not have internet access because of exposed services.

Concur, not in this case but its often true, the more described up front in understanding the requirements that lead you to two wireguard interfaces, means a solution will be holistic and ensure all use cases are thought of/included.

Why are you complaining here instead of simply asking for assistance, like normal people do??

Regarding use of the routing table action.......... a. lookup --> basically means use the preferred table but if not available router can look at main table for an alternative active route --> out the local WAN for example. b. lookup-only-in-table ---> means if the preferred table is not available t...

A provided full config, for review would be helpful (minus router serial Number, and any public WANIP information )

When I saw that rules and you have your chains mixed up, I threw up and left for awhile.
Just came back to say, put chain rules together, makes it much easier to read and troubleshoot issues, as rules are processing within a chain, in the order they are presented and order is important.

anav

In general, and to keep it SIMPLE, for the main router with DHCP, all vlans are tagged with bridge.
For MT devices not being the primary router, aka acting as an AP/Switch, ONLY the management VLAN needs to:
a. be identified as a vlan
b. be tagged on the bridge.

1. Did you forward port 45586 on the upstream router to the LANIP of the mikrotik router??

Anything is possible, but in isolation I would be leery of providing any advice before understanding the complete config. /export file=anynameyouwish (minus router serial#, any publicWANIP info,keys, etc.) WHy for example do you not have table main routes for all three WANs?? in addition to any requ...

Yes! The problem is the traffic reaches the server but the return traffic does not!! Its being forced to WAN2 by the routing rule!!! Think about it if you have: /routing table add fib name=useWAN2 /ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gwy=ISP2 routing-table=useWAN2 AND the appropriate routing rule: /r...

anav

First, how are you considering the two WAN connections? In general one should assign a clear non-ambiguous hierarchy for WAN traffic. Primary Route distance=1 table=main gwy=ISP1 Secondary Route distance=2 table=main gwy=ISP2 This applies if WAN1 is the go to and WAN2 is the backup obviously. This i...

Congrats Normis! In terms of changes dont feel pressured to go one way or another. I prefer user-selectable. In other words, for example, one may prefer tabs and another may prefer pull-downs.

The article is wrong from the start.
There is no need for both sides to have a publicly reachable IP address, only one side need have it.

Can you provide a network diagram as detailed as possible so I can try to figure out what is going on.

Seems like ert fell asleep.............

anav

What is preferential if the ISP router does not provide some benefit that the MT router cannot, is to find out the bridge mode if possible. In other words pass the public IP to the Mikrotik. If you cannot do that then you simply use a static LANIP address on the ISP address and it is used as the WAN...

anav

Which means you initially let the router config wireguard for you instead of doing it yourself manually LOL............ Glad you took control!!

anav

I use it, many do. If your a business, then you should have a backup plan or use the MT one as a backup and use a paid service.
I have also used free one, many out there, with no issue.

anav

Can you provide more detail tangent. The server device normally does not require to NAT ---> Responses from single external clients. The traffic comes in hits an MT router subnet and goes back out same way, or even the router itself for config purposes. AKA no NAT required. However if the OP wants t...

MOre importantly, is it a. a public IP that gets to your router?? If not it then gets to the upstream ISP router? If so then b. can you forward ports on the ISP router to your Mikrotik router. Mikrotik device has a dyndns service IP cloud built in, so you can use that or a free dyndnu address on the...

Hehe. Remember English is not my first language. So the most accurate wording would probably be "been there, fucked that up myself, more than once"

Well to be accurate my fair feathered friend, "been there", rubbed my nose in it! ;-P

You should send in a report to Mikrotik about this behaviour..............

anav

Still, doesn't explain the "ALL of SUDDEN". If it was working all this time with EoIP interfaces, what flipped the switch so to speak ???

anav

Yes, from an iphone or android phone, aka from another device, not a router, using BTH and depends on which MT router you do have at the other end.

Well one cannot design a config in a vaccuum and each part is related. So to ask to one thing and later to ask another question about another need is the wrong approach. 1. Identify all the user(s)/device(s), groups of users/devices, including admin and external users 2. State all their traffic requ...

anav

What went wrong is MT not providing you with a first post path and process that ensures you get your issues answered in a sane manner.

/export file=anynameyouwish ( minus router serial#, any public WANIP information, keys etc.)

anav

Correct, the easiest thing to do is turn the device into a router and do it that way. Its how most of us would approach given that the intent is only for the wifi users on the device to go out the tunnel.

anav

Nor should there be on the hex in this setup.

anav

Well what I stated is important to understand.
The hex is unable to make such decisions acting as a switch, nor can any other L2 device ( switch ).

anav

OKay so what you are saying is that the hex is not a router in your network and its acting as a switch. Its connected to a TPLINK Switch on ether3. In this case your question or request may be unreasonable. Whether or NOT, any device in one vlan can reach a device in another vlan IS THE RESPONSIBILI...

Didnt think any existed that were any good. I am aware of high end routers $$$, and then you need to pay subscriptions $$$.

You have some ideas but they are not concrete enough. Clearly you have an inkling of dividing up available bandwidth for the user gropus, aka send vlans x,y,z to one ISP and vlans a,b,c via another ISP and think you can call it a day. What it appears you are aiming for is what we call load balancing...

Why? just uses wireguard.
On allowed IPs, router1, put the remote subnets coming in.
On allowed IPs router2, put the remote subnets going to

Firewall rules as required.

anav

Well if thats the case, you simply need to port forward on the CHR into the tunnel. I would use one wireguard tunnel for local router users and your mobile warrior and the other tunnel for port forwarded traffic as a natural separation. So users have two things, DYNDNS or staticIP of CHR and port en...

Not going to attempt to understand your config....... however in terms of wireguard. Its all wrong for a client Router device. First why are there two peers entered.

Well you certainly have a plethora of options. I would recommend to use ONE interface on the CHR and on both routers. If you want separation from router to router traffic then you can use two different subnets on the CHR ( both with same interface ) Typically remote/mobile clients ( laptops, smartph...

I will say it for the last time, stop with the config speak.
Talk plainly to describe requirements based on user or device traffic.
If you cannot clearly describe traffic requirements there is no point in even starting modifying or creating a config.

Is this some sort of joke?? Why are you adding special table for routes that already exist on the router.

Not sure what you are getting at..........
The routing rule is not about forcing internal router DNS services out WAN2.
Its strictly about forcing any query to 1.1.1.1 out WAN2.

In any case, since you dont want to provide config, I am outta here.

anav

Correct, remove bridge from LAN interface list. Vlan1 is used in the background by the router/bridge, do not touch. Yes ether4 would then be an access port. An access port can only have one vlan associated, untagged when leaving the port tagged when entering the port. Keeping vlans on the bridge is ...
