pref. source is still ignored on static routes!! This has been going on for years, and Mikrotik staff never respond. Workaround might be src-nat, but why?? It’s not good enough.
I have a pppoe interface which receives a dynamic WAN IP. My ISP gives me a subnet (/29) which is routed through this dynamic WAN IP.
I assign my static IPs to that same interface, and they work perfectly fine for inbound NAT.
but my outbound masquerade uses the dynamic IP!!
My default route says “pref. source 1.2.3.4 (static)”, but it’s ignored.
It worked one time in the past, after reboots and what not, but I can never get it working again and there are loads of reports of the same on the forums here.
