Re: Hotspot remove authentication

Mikrotik, nomadix, and quite a few other hotspot systems allow you to connect to a network when you have a IP address that is not a valid IP on your network. The to-address is the address the mikrotik assigned to that device temporarily so that it will work.

Changing the default script

I am trying to change the default script on a bunch of our mikrotik routers. I have read up on it and from what info I can find I use the netinstall and then I upload a rsc file by clicking the config script and selecting the rsc file. This works on the initial install but once I reset the router 2 ...

Re: New firewall matcher PCC

Nice fix for the nth load balance.

Question though is will there ever be a fix or patch for ecmp to work correctly?
there is nothing to fix, it just works that way - linux kernel developers made this. this is why we made another method that does what you want.
Thanks for reply normis.

Re: please help me in Load Balance

Overall easiest fix is to upgrade to latest ros. The best thing is to look at the sticky thread at top for PCC.

When you put up the hotspot disable or delete the masquerade rule the hotspot creates.

Re: LOAD BALANCING WITH 3 GW AND FAILOVER

Look at this how-to http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/NTH_load_ ... masquerade

all you need to do as add a third mark and change your nth to 3,1 3,2 3,3 and then add in 3rd route.

ECMP is another way to load balance but currently there are a few bugs being worked out on it?

Re: Identifying P2P

It doesn't. You can only find some of the first packets, before it all gets encrypted, and then mark connection to drop it, but I don't think it works all that well. That's what encryption is for.

Figured as much. Just wishful thinking of being able to limit encrypted packets for p2p
