Safe mode in webfig

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi all.
I do understand these can be seen as a silly questions.
Does the “safe mode” work in webfig?
Is the 9 minutes timeout in force?
Can it be configured?
Is it working with HTTPS as well?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does work. It checks if anything you do in the config will not block you. If it does, it makes “Undo”.

For example, click on “Safe mode” then go to IP Firewall filter and add a new rule, chain “input” action “drop”. You will be blocked from Webfig, but after a minute, it will reconnect and the rule will be gone.

Does it apply also to SSH/telnet command line?

Safe Mode only protects you from yourself. Other sessions are not checked. So no, SSH will not be monitored. It only checks what you personally do in Webfig when the Safe Mode is activated (also by you)

I am the one who’s typing commands via SSH!
I cannot see (my fault) the difference (apart of the protocol of course) among webfig, ssh, telnet and winbox.
Anyway, I just learnt it. But it makes little sense to me.
Thanks.

SSH and Webfig are not related. If you want, you can enable SafeMode in SSH as well, just type CTRL+X

Every session is independent.
