Re: Firewall: Invalid forward packets, unknown input [SOLVED]

Thus is caused by the premature deletion of the connection entry for TCP in Linux. When the router sees a close of the TCP session (FIN/ACK FIN) it immediately deletes the connection entry, instead of setting it to a timeout of say 30 seconds. The result is that when the ACK FIN is not received by ...

Re: Need help setting up (VLAN?) [SOLVED]

Basically forget about the vlan-header= setting While you can forget about the setting on said switch chips (BTW, I have one of them as well), the correct setting for access port (which should egress only untagged frames) is vlan-header=always-strip none the less. In the switch configuration block:...

Re: Speed of internet not working on RB951G-2HnD

Before upgrading the speed of the router, you should check the speed of your internet. Because maybe the reason behind this problem isn’t your router, maybe it’s the internet itself that’s causing the trouble. There are a lot of internet speed test tools but if you want to save your time and want a...

Re: Routing traffic for specified domains to a different gateway [SOLVED]

Domain names in the access_list are resolved to IPs, I presume, at which time point does it happen?
Is it re-checked periodically?

Re: Port Forwarding: proper way to do "DMZ" + UPnP? [SOLVED]

Also I tried to UPnP-map a TCP port which is already used. If the port is used by a NATted TCP session from a LAN host, everything works perfectly, mapping is created and connection from WAN is received, the old NATted TCP session doesn't break either. If the port is used by MikroTik itself (e.g. s...

Re: Port Forwarding: proper way to do "DMZ" + UPnP? [SOLVED]

When I want specific port X to be forwarded... I don't think I'd want it to be randomly overridden by <any> device, just because it happens to have access to my LAN. This is, in a way, compatible with UPnP as the same port could be forwarded to only one device at a time, so the only change needed is...

Re: Highest bandwidth VPN with Mikrotik routers

TCP only sends a certain amount of data until a confirmation from the recipient arrives, so not only the available bandwidth but also the round-trip delay plays a role. If you do the test between two devices on the same LAN, the results will be nearly the same. I'm aware of that, but TCP connection...

Highest bandwidth VPN with Mikrotik routers

Good day, Newbie here. I have the following topology:: Mikrotik1 (951G-2HnD) (192.168.0.2) => ISP Router A (120/6mbit) ------------------ ISP Router B (50/50mbit) <= HAP AC (10.1.0.x) ISP Router A can be configured to forward UDP/TCP ports, no DMZ option. ISP Router B is more advanced, has DMZ, alth...

Re: Multicast package not installing on HAP AC [SOLVED]

Is there anything in log about it? If there's nothing, then npk file location is probably not right. Nothing in logs. When joining via FTP I see that root folder's path is "/flash". (with no way to get to the / folder) Uploaded file via UI to the actual root folder, and it worked, thanks.

Re: Transparently forcing to use Mikrotik's DNS Server, when MK acts as non-NAT router

That is not correct, it is also possible to make dstnat rules in a router that is not doing srcnat.
It should work.
OK, I'll try it later today.

Re: Transparently forcing to use Mikrotik's DNS Server, when MK acts as non-NAT router

/ip firewall nat
add action=redirect chain=dstnat dst-port=53 protocol=udp
add action=redirect chain=dstnat dst-port=53 protocol=tcp
No, as I said, there is no NAT, so these rules, while doing no harm, do not do anything.

If you want your cable modem acts like NAT router and Tik is not, then just add these 2 rules, cause Tik not gonna NAT your source address of your LAN, it's NAT dest address which not fail access to Internet with source NAT by cable modem. Why does it have to be a NAT? I don't want Network Address ...
