Well, you obviously have code running on your system that works, but you don't know what it does exactly. Doesn't sound secure tbh.

manuzoli

PS: to everyone struggling with Ventura. - update Wine to the latest Brew version - Download the winbox64.exe - open in Wine - Disable the "open in new window" flag You have to accept unsigned software in the system settings for at least a couple of times. It will work. If you need a secon...

Everything broken again under Ventura.

manuzoli

We will never get proper support for macOS. You can use Wine, but that will break on almost every macOS Update and will force you to use unsigned code. It was the reason, why we had to switch to other manufacturers, even though MT has splendid Hardware. If you want to have a working solution: use th...

The most native solution is to use the native iOS app on your M1 mac:

Just click the following link (only for M1 Macs).
https://apps.apple.com/at/app/mikrotik/ ... 64830?l=en

It is not as convenient but it is stable and you don't have to worry every time you upgrade your OS.

manuzoli

I finally found a viable solution that is so obvious that I feel foolish to haven't thought about that before. As the problem seems to affect only M1 macs you can use its weakness as its strength and run the official Mikrotik App for iOS Devices on your Mac. Just click the following link (only for M...

manuzoli

we didn't replace the existing boards, we just decided to switch to something else for the new building.
it's just not very stable to rely on some third party solution in a productive environment.

manuzoli

Hi!
Any updates regarding native winbox for Macos and M1 (ARM) core?

Thanks.

I just tried it. No success... still not working.
You can try and install it via Crossover, that seems to work more or less.
Be prepared to spend 60 Dollars though.

manuzoli

I agree +1

manuzoli

Our CTO finally decided to equip our new office building with devices from another brand. A decision I don't like, but I can kind of understand as their reasoning was the missing official support for our main OS. Keep up the good work! I, as person, still like Mikrotik very much, but I just wanted t...

manuzoli

The current Wine version has problems with M1 devices. That only explains the resizing problems. The other problems mentioned also appeared on x86 hardware. I know quite a few people who use Winbox on MacOS as well, all of them get it to work for most usecases but have learned to work around the fla...

manuzoli

Wine does work fine on Big Sur, including Winbox. Mikrotik is claiming this for years, and it has never been true. - the window handling in wine is broken - capturing of the mousepointer works sometimes but not always - window resizing is not possible on m1 hardware - the file handling is broken (b...

manuzoli

I was surprised there is still no cross platform Winbox.
The wine version doesn't work under Big Sur and the Webfig is not supporting all the needed features.
Any plans to release something? Cheers.

manuzoli

Actually, after short googling: turns out it is not even necessary to run openwrt, all can be done in ROS.

you never stop learning. nice feature

manuzoli

It can surely be done on Mikrotik hardware.
There are even some commercial solutions, but as far as I know, they don't use ROS.

How do you switch Mikrotik-Hardware in promiscuous mode?

manuzoli

If I understand your question it is not possible to do this with a Mikrotik router and honestly it doesn't have to. sounds to me as a raspberry pi with some sort of linux on it is the better sniffer-machine. keep in mind that some devices randomize their mac-address before communicating with unknown...

manuzoli

I am struggling with three at the moment.
But I am not sure if its interference or an other problem.
The logging capabilities for the 60ghz spectrum aren't great.
Once you got it up and running its blazingly fast.

manuzoli

Its probably an Issue with 6.47 or something.
I have similar issues ind a very similar setup.

manuzoli

Thanks for your reply. I am on the latest version 6.47.1 with the matching firmware. I have an RSSI of about 60 i think and the rate fluctuates between 1gb and 2.3gb. I used an 60ghz AP -> Dish and Dish -> Dish. The results are the same. The Fresnel-Zone should be good although probably not perfect....

hi fellow friends, i am using mikrotik 60ghz devices for over a year now and i am very happy with them. the last week i built a new connection between to roofs 733 meters apart. unfortunately the connection drops every 12-18 hours and doesn't come back up till i reboot the client-lhg60. i am pretty ...

manuzoli

+1 for Wireguard - keep RouterOS as awesome as it is!

manuzoli

What distance are the buildings apart?
The Dishes have a very narrow 'focus'. If the distance isn't to far you could use the RBwAPG-60adkit.
Or you could have two links with four Dishes. They would not interfere at all.

manuzoli

@mikrotik: any presskits available? I could provide some great shots in an alpine setup ;) Manuzoli, It would be great to get pictures from you. We will include them to the next public newsletter. Sounds good. Once I am able to order some - I'll send you pics. I am crossing fingers they will cover ...

@mikrotik: any presskits available? I could provide some great shots in an alpine setup

manuzoli

Once we get hand on a pair of radios we will try. We just can‘t order any at the moment.

manuzoli

Hey folks. We need to replace one of our 5Ghz Links due to high noise. We would like to switch to 60 Ghz. The Link is 2.4km and has 600 meters of altitude change. We don’t need a Gigabit. 100 mbits would be plenty. Has anyone any experience if this is even possible? We got about 15% less Air preassu...

manuzoli

We got over 100 houses with Mikrotiks mounted to the roofs and chimneys.
I'll try to get some got pictures - in the meanwhile some of the older setups.
Everything that holds up the antenna counts right?

manuzoli

We found an easy way to reduce the size of an RB3011

manuzoli

Where did you buy them?

manuzoli

I have created a script, which automatically checks and update if necessary, the Let's encrypt Wildcard SSL certificate on Mikrotik devices.

You Sir, are a true hero!

manuzoli

+1 - i‘d like to know as well

manuzoli

Automated is not the hard part. I've seen some instructions how to do it. But what they have in common is an extra machine you need, where you create certificates and run the validation, and then you can upload resulting certificates to router. So it's usable for some scenarios, but if you'd need i...

manuzoli

since no one though of wireless. did you tink of going wireless?

manuzoli

Hi,

I wan't to encrypt all my traffic to the webfig.
has anyone found a solution to do that automated via Let's encrypt?

thx in advance

PS: yes I got subdomains for all my routers.

manuzoli

a tunnel isn't really simulating a real layer 1 network connection. all packets are still routet so broadcast packets won't reach you. if you got a mikrotik device on both ends you can create a eioip tunnel inside the other tunnel. this will simulate a real layer 1 connection and you will see the sh...

seems you are not the only one.

Looks like Mikrotik has sold good engough to become a very promising attack target for the bad guys. I run an average network (Public C-Network) and I have an average of 215.000 tried attacks per day. Thats about 2.5 attacks a second. I guess its a good thing to ramp up security and block SSH, HTTP,...

manuzoli

Thats the reason why I don‘t like this emulation things. And they are compareable slow I'm not sure if it's completely about emulation :) And... What do you do with WinBox so it's slow for you? %) P.S. At least Warcraft 3 many years ago was running smoothly both in Windows and Wine, but under Wine ...

manuzoli

Follow these simple steps exactly: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Winbox#Homebrew By the way, with XQuartz 2.7.11 font smoothing does not work, I had to downgrade to 2.7.9 to fix it - you should probably mention it in Wiki. Thats the reason why I don‘t like this emulation things. And they ar...

manuzoli

Thats a good change imho

manuzoli

To be honest i am quite glad there is no solution after seven years. Encrypted internet is encrypted and should stay that way

manuzoli

You can export the config in the Winbox application. There is an option for that in the menu

manuzoli

Anyone already created a working bundle for Linux or MacOS?

manuzoli

Where you using the same device? Browsers have become quite picky when it comes to SSL and captive portals. Maybe it isn‘t connected to your Mikrotik setup?

manuzoli

I find parts of this discussion funny since Webfig is practically a web version of Winbox as it is. -- Nathan Webfig can‘t even copy entries. The lack of Mac support renders it a supplemental tool that can never replace Winbox. The API i good, I used it myself, but it uses a different syntax than s...

manuzoli

Dod you ever check the cpu load on the 750 and the clients? Under certain circumstances (a lot of forewalling and qeues) cou isahe can skyrocket quite fast

manuzoli

Can you even block that? Shouldn‘t the domain where mac scan is even possible relatively limited?

manuzoli

Or let it beep supermario. Thats worth it

manuzoli

I had that problem as well. R doesn‘t mean anything. Just create a tunnel that doesn‘t do anything else than showing the link status.

manuzoli

However, I don't understand why you send this reply quoting my text, because I already confirmed that it would be possible to make something like winbox entirely as a web interface. Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz with 8GB RAM apparently is not enough anymore to run a browser. I just wan...

manuzoli

I agree that a Browser might not be the best choice. But the current state of Winbox ain‘t it either. I got multiple Windows 10 machines where dialog boxes get stuck and i have to kill Winbox via the task manager. It feels like Winbox is in an emulator even on Windows.

manuzoli

Thank you so much. I feel stupid to not have know about that after all that years of using Mikrotik. I marked your answer as solution as I asume this might have solved the Problem. A OS on a very old firmware can‘t work right. Thx again

manuzoli

You could connect to the mikrotik that you can ‚see‘ from your network and connect to the other via ip neighbours. Some cli knowledge comes in handy when doing so.

manuzoli

Afaik the folder is needed for the webinterface. You can get it back by installing routerOS via netinstall.

Welcome to the mikrotik world. You will be amazed how versatile mikrotiks are compared to what you have used before.

manuzoli

I am using auto.rsc with the latest firmware on >100 devices and have no issues at all. Are you sure your file is ok?

manuzoli

Is the routerboard firmware up to date?

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That may sound stupid - but is there a difference between RouterOS and the firmware?

manuzoli

As I wrote, with a merge of WebFig and WinBox I mean to put all functionality of WinBox into WebFig. Of course that includes the way of handling separate windows etc. This is not at all impossible. Environments do exist that implement functions similar to WinBox in a browser window. Of course it re...

manuzoli

But I get where you're coming from, so if they were to revamp their config tool, making a super high quality universal web based one would be the way to go. I‘d like to see a good webfig. But as long as it can‘t even copy entries it is no up to bar with Winbox. I tend to use SSH most of the time bu...

manuzoli

Mikrotik is no small company. If they don‘t have the recources to develop for multiple operating systems it would be seriously conceirn me.
The most used system on the road is Android an iOS - not Windows.

manuzoli

In my humble opinion i‘d expect a company the size of Mikrotik to deploy their management tools x-plattform. There are way smaller companies that don‘t forget about their apple and linux community. As administrators we are on call 24/7 and on the road most of the time. There should clearly be offici...

manuzoli

Yeah - pls make Winbox cross plattform. or at least 64bit

manuzoli

+1 - I love Mikrotik but have no Windows machine. i work with Linux and MacOS. Linux is mich closer to Milrotik wjen it comes to scripting.

Depending on your country this could be difficult to impossible. Where u from?

some devices haven't had the license to upgrade to 6.x Just note that license upgrade is free of charge, if the device doesn't allow you to upgrade by upload+reboot, we will give you a free license upgrade. wow thats great - i think i had some old information there. keep your great work up! thx a l...

manuzoli

@normis Yeah we were aware of the bugfix release, we just had some devices haven't had the license to upgrade to 6.x.

manuzoli

manuzoli

Wouldnt you give a third party access to your devices this way?

manuzoli

Is this a hotspot or what?

manuzoli

just to be sure (i couldn't find anything specific about this) - this thing is water-resistant enough for outdoor use? like lets say an stx

manuzoli

Ok sorry, on „many“ mikrotiks it is.

manuzoli

Yeah. Especially the jpg Map. I am really missing that feauture.

manuzoli

If you would like to run the dude as a server on windows you are out of luck. Windows is only supported as a dude client anymore.

You can install dude server on many mikrotik though.
Makes way more sense anyway.

manuzoli

I think a script is the way to go here.
You have to change the routing, or you could do it with some nat rules.

Its not more than a few lines of code

manuzoli

I am not sure if i do understand your question, but i will try. The login page is called a Captive Portal. The client tries to access a website and requests a DNS record. The Hotspot fakes the answer and says - well Youtube is at 192.168.0.1 - thats obviously not true, but it is the way you get the ...

manuzoli

yeah thx for the input - i am probably going to use this workaround.

i have got another guy administrating the network and he doesn't like changes very much. So a field thats "under the radar" of winbox would help a lot

manuzoli

The natbshould work if the gateways are set

manuzoli

Eoip is awesome. But you have to make sure that the two dhcps are not interfering. Its like you patch a real cable between the two networks. That could cause quite some trouble. L2tp would prevent you from having that problem, but younwould need to know the ips on the other network, and the private ...

manuzoli

What certificate are you talking about?

manuzoli

Ps: the way i would do it: create a simple html - you can even include the images directly from the mikrotik webinterface. Install Ubuntu on your Raspberry and usw wkhtmltopdf to create a pdf from the html. A pdf script can be used to do that and send it as an email attachement.

manuzoli

All the graphics are accessible via the webinterface. You could just ‚steal‘ them from there. That should be possible with whatever coding-language you prefer.

manuzoli

Thx. That could be a good workaround, though its not as ‚clean‘ as it could be. I am now thinking of adding a unique pattern to the end of the name - smthg like #mikrostats#267#. That could be quite well regexed and wouldn‘t rob the user from the possibility to use names and comments. I‘d like to ma...
