Feature Request: Separate Packages

RouterOS General
1

I’d like to request that the all of the “home user” features be moved into separate packages.

  • Web Proxy / Socks
  • upnp / smb

All 4 of those functions have recently causes me issues with using Mikrotik routers in a hospital.

I’m not protesting or anything (more separate packages would be fine by me, if nothing else, MikroTik would not have to be affraid to add more features to them and make enterprise users angry for bloating up RouterOS core), but what’s “home” about web proxy? As a temporary self-proclaimed speaker for home users, we don’t want it, it must be enterprise feature. :slight_smile: Also, all of those features are disabled by default, so they can’t start causing issues just like that on their own.

web and socks proxies get exploited by rogue IT guys to get around company filters.
Web proxy is just about useless now, as https can not be proxied.
Disabled by default is nice and all, but medical centers that deal with high profile patients have policies that prevent using hardware with certain functions “baked in”.
