RouterOS Beginner Basics

I can connect to my mikrotik via winbox and http from the lan side no problem, but I can not get to it from the WAN ip. How can i make this work so i can get to web interface or winbox from WAN?

Help!

Make sure the access not blocked by ip firewall filter or disabled by ip service.

Me have same problem. But there is no firewall and services are enabled. what to do?

If you want to gain access from WAN to your WinBox, you have
to create a rule in the Firewall Filter section. Ex:

Copy and paste this line to your WinBox Terminal

/ip firewall filter add chain=input comment="WinBox Wan Administration" dst-port=8291 protocol=tcp action=accept

Note: By default WinBox uses port 8291

I don’t recommend HTTP for Wan Administration.
Anyway, copy and paste this code to the winbox terminal.

/ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=input comment="HTTP WAN Admin" dst-port=80 protocol=tcp

Note: It is better to use WinBox, SSH, HTTPS for WAN Administration.
