Hello, I have network device that I want to access from public internet, but it is not password protected, so I can not just port forward to it, otherwise anyone will be able to coctrol it.
I understand to make password authentification to this device I need to create reverse proxy (like NGINX).
Is it possible to setup reverse proxy inside Mikrotik router or I need to have PC to do that?
No, you can’t.
You can set up a VPN server in your router and only access the service through the VPN.
Or maybe you could do this: https://youtu.be/BbDnBxlBTdY
YES, YOU CAN DO THIS USING ZERO TRUST TUNNEL BY CLOUDFLARE.
IT IS THE SAFEWAY TO SETUP A SERVER AND NOT EXPOSE YOUR WANIP.
HOWEVER MIKROTIK ONLY OFFERS THIS in a BACKHANDED WAY for ARM DEVICES (slap in the face for other device owners BOOOOO!!! ) and FURTHER YOU HAVE TO LEARN CONTAINERS which has its own security risks and is not TRIVIAL for a beginner.
WAKEUP NORMUNDS!!! Put zero trust cloudflare tunnel in a package option for ALL DEVICES.
Hi, I looked up about this Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel, but I realised that this docker is available only for ARM64 not just ARM, so it would go only for the newest mikrotik routers…

So if somehow it is possible with ARM processors, let me know, I will try also other dockers…
Look at Zerotier, there is a package for your router.
Much easier to configure…
Zerotier would be also really helpful
