Accessing ROS with Winbox over internet

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Im trying to access my LTE SXT over the LTE connection. I have my ports opened, and have dns enabled, however Im not able to connect. When I run /ip cloud print I get this:

ddns-enabled: yes
  ddns-update-interval: none
           update-time: yes
        public-address: my public ip here
              dns-name: my dns name here
                status: updated
               warning: Router is behind a NAT. Remote connection might not work.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

your WAN-interface is:

  1. with good reason
  2. for your own good
  3. and therefore by default
    not in the fancy roundel for such pieces of lunacy !
    .
    please make your self aquainted with common strategies of internet-security …
    and the sophisticated concepts of the before named, which offers the Mikrotik Router-Operating-System to you !

If you want to remotely connect to your ROuter from afar, use VPN…

If you could kindly point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

I did it with the MT IOS app and L2TP IKEv2 vpn

looking at “warning: Router is behind a NAT. Remote connection might not work.”
this is saying your LTE interface has not got a public IP address and only been given a private IP by your mobile network opeartor. This is very common with many mobile networks, unless you have requested an public IP (and paied for it).

solution:

  1. request an public IP from your mobile network. so you can ping this IP address to start with.
  2. run VPN client from your Mikrotik, to another VPN server which you have access to. For example, office network. then access your router via this VPN. Please note, some mobile network block PPTP VPN or throttle it’s speed.

Ahhh, this makes sense.
