/ip firewall filter add chain=forward protocol=tcp tcp-flags=syn connection-limit=101,32 action=drop

This rule will allow 100 TCP simultaneous connection per network user.

  1. Upgrade your router to the latest MikroTik RouterOS version.

  2. your rule allows 3 connections per network.
    4 - is allowed connections, 24 - subnet mask.
    Change connection-limit configuration.

so if using this ver 2.9.6 can not limit connection per ip address ?
mhhh :open_mouth:

It should work, however it’s recommended to ugprade.
Note, given rule will limit TCP connections.
