On: https://mikrotik.com/support - there is a new AI chat bot, it seems to work pretty well for some basic questions I throw at it.
But does it feed with the actual /help docs or has some unreleased documentation?!
When asking for IPSEC VTI support for example it is convinced Mikrotik supports it and even generates a configration for me with using “/interface vti” cli?
Is VTI coming? Or is The Dude throwing false alarms?
There’s another nugget of information that could indicate that there’s active work on VTI: a reddit user noticed that there’s now a support matrix indicating /31 subnet support for v7.18 in the official routing documentation. While the two features definitely do not depend on one another, it’s a typical use case to setup a VTI interface with a /31 subnet.
Unfortunately, seems more like (W)ISPs squeezing last available public IPs for those willing to pay for static one. We see emerging trend of assigning /31 among local ones who can’t or don’t know how to setup PPPoE.
Clearly the AI chatbot drinks the the same Latvian home-brewed schnapps as the MT employees, otherwise, we would have zerotrust cloudflare and wireguard amnezia already available!
