Re: IPIPv6 tunnel uses wrong local address

Well, NAT does work (= is able to change source of tunnel's packets), but not exactly as expected. I can force tunnel to use link-local address as source, if I keep default route (with link-local gateway) and disable all global addresses. I assume something like that might be happening on your route...

Sorry to ruin it for you, but no.

If nothing else, now you have two unconditional srcnat rules. So the first one will be used for anything passing through router and nothing will ever get to second one.

Re: DDNS for my server with IP/Cloud?

Admittedly unhelpful advice: The only proper solution is to tell ISP to stop doing stupid things and keep static addresses.

DDNS is just hotfix with various problems. But if it's unavoidable, it's probably best/easiest to use some independent DDNS on server itself.

Re: RB600A License issue

License can be updated also from late 3.x (I don't remember exact number, but it's something after 3.20).

Re: Colorize scripting

Colors? Come on! What will be next? Reporting syntax errors instead of "silent death"? It would ruin the experience! I'm kidding, of course. But after it being like this for so many years, I do sometimes think that the general unfriendliness of RouterOS scripting might be by design for som...

Re: Whitelist by URL for 5 Cisco domains

Address list supports hostnames, but it's useless for wildcards, because it resolves given hostnames, and it can't resolve all possible combinations. But they recently added this interesting thing: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=952360#p952360 I didn't see any official word about it, wha...

Re: pppoe reconnecting multiple times and DoH throwing errors to logs

I don't know about first one. But DoH trying even when it can't succeed, it's simply because it doesn't know it in advance. It needs to resolve something, either because there was external request or because router itself needs it, so it tries to connect to configured server... and oops, it failed. ...

Re: Route over IPSEC tunnel by port or dst fqdn

Do you have both connection mark and src address list set in mode config? I never tried that, so I'm not sure if it works as OR or AND. Try only connection mark. Then you need right conditions. For some ports from specific address e.g.: /ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting src-address=192.168.0....

Re: Man pages/documentation for the commands [SOLVED]

One thing I like about old documentation is this nice user friendly page (which new documentation unfortunately doesn't have): https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:TOC If you're interested in IP routes, you just scroll down a bit to IP section, select Route and on target page: https://wiki.mikrotik...

Re: Route over IPSEC tunnel by port or dst fqdn

I don't use it often, but mode-config has either matching using address list or connection mark. If you choose the latter, you can mark whatever you want to send via tunnel. Something like: /ip firewall mangle add in-interface=<LAN> connection-state=new src-address=192.168.0.44 action=mark-connectio...

Re: 450G flashing green led & port led

So what changed after those many years? Did original power supply die? If not, it should have kept working. Did it perhaps have higher voltage? I saw that, RB stopped working with I think 24V, but worked fine with 12V. And when I looked inside, capacitors weren't in great shape at all.

Because while the whole thing is quite simple, especially after you get it, some details may be less obvious when you're starting.

Re: Redirect external domain to another external domain (including subdomains)

It depends. If you mean redirect e.g http(s) requests, you can't. If you mean that client asks for IP address of xxxx.domain-one.org and gets address of xxxx.domain-two.org, you probably also can't, at least not easily and reliably. AFAIK there's no direct aliasing mechanism. If it was for specific ...
