Hi! I have 5g lte Mikrotik router. How can I connect to this router from outside (from different network)? When go to section “cloud” it shows that router is behind NAT. Why is this? There is no other routers, just mobile 5g connection…
Most mobile operators use CGNAT.
2 options
Zerotier ( easiest) if your device supports it.
Wireguard but then you need a pivot point with public available ip address ( dynamic or static).
Ok, so basically if mobile operator can give me static ip, the problem could also be solved?
Yup. Not always easy, depending on where you are and budget, however.
IPv6 may also be an option.
If you have your own MT at home, or a friend, you can always connect to that from the MT device behind CGNAT.
Once all devices are connected, including mobile remote users, its easy for traffic to flow in any direction.
Normally you need some VPN. Actually I use Twingate with a Raspberry Pi. Works really well.
Regards.
ZeroTier is an option too:

Yes I used ZeroTier on my Raspberry Pi, so, I not have any ARM based MikroTik device.
The problem is that ZeroTier sometimes shows my Raspberry as connected but can’t get any traffic and I need restart the ZeroTier service to fix it. I switched to Tailscale but on some Raspberry Pi boots, Tailscale don’t login automatically and I lost the VPN connection.
For now I switched to Twingate and is the winner to me (to be implemented on a Linux machine).
Regards.
