Remote access to a ROS via winbox

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello…



I have a PC based RouterOS (v3.3).
This RouterOS is inside an internal LAN and between the RouterOS and the internet there is a linux based firewall.

I am trying to access this PC based RouterOS system from remote site… with no success.

My question is:

Which tcp ports should I redirect from the firewall to the internal RouterOS to get remote access?

I have redirected tcp port 8291 but it seems to be not enough.

Hello all…



sorry guys…

I did a little typing mistake.

Follows the basic and simplified rules to be used in the linux box:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $eth0 -P TCP --dport 8291 -j --to-destinantion $RouterOS_ip:8291
iptables -A INPUT -i $eth0 --dport 8291 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD --dport 8291 -j ACCEPT
