Hi all,
Is there any plan to port the BTH service to CHR routeros?
Did you ear something about that?
I’ve juste replace a RB5009 by a minipc under Proxmox/CHR and it’s the only thing that I couldn’t configure…
Thanx.
I suspect part of the problem is the small ARMs have a finite capacity – the CPU is need for WG encryption so it act like a “governor” to throttle usage. But bring up CHR on large AWS/etc instance could theoretically exceeded the bandwidth at the “far end” of BTH. Likely not your case, but that be generic issue with CHR + BTH.
Also, CHR+BTH is bit trickier since there is default config/firewall on CHR for BTH to know what to modify. With the default conf on ARM/etc., there is notion of LAN (bridge) and WAN (ether1)… same isn’t true on CHR.
Still it a good request. Since beyond just the proxy feature of BTH… BTH also has the “friendly” apps to set it a VPN. That’s another benefit to BTH over “plain” WG, which requires more manual cut-and-pasting of keys.
That’s exactly what is expected for beginners…
Of course, I managed to config a wireguard tunnel over my Proxmox/CHR for my own needs, but I don’t understand why BTH as disappeared
from that platform.
It does seem Proxmox is getting more common in the “advanced home networks” … so I’d agree CHR support for BTH make sense.
They do say BTH is only support on TILE/ARM/ARM64. And stuff like ZeroTier is also not available in CHR. Why a more powerful platform have these restrictions? IDK since Mikrotik has never explained the “why” part.
