Replacement for pfSense - getting started?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I’ve picked up a RouterBoard RB2011 to research as a potential replacement for pfSense for a small office. I’ve updated the device to v6.12 no problem, but am having a time with getting a confugration working to 100%. The quickset options that I think would apply are either CPE or WISP. I have a static ip supplied by local cable ISP - their device is on premise, but in pass-through mode. I can configure port 1 appropriately (I think - semi-confirmed because the device was able to update to 6.12) for ISP, now I need to connect it to LAN. I’ve been able to configure a port to 192.168.1.1 for the lan, and I can connect to the device with this local IP. - However, the device is still reporting 192.168.88.1 as local IP on the built in display, and I don’t appear to be routing from LAN to WAN/Internet.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Unfortunately mikrotik is a bit more hands on. If you want it done, you have to tell mikrotik to do it. This is what makes it powerful, but also give it a bit of a learning curve. In your case, you most probably did not set up a default route. Do some reading on that as well. :slight_smile: In IP - route create a rule with dst address 0.0.0.0/0 and gateway = (public ip gateway) This will route all traffic coming from local LAN out teh public gateway.
