This is my first Mikrotik 751 and I am learning - so please excuse me. I cannot connect remotetly to home via public IP using winbox on a remote machine (at my office). I have no issues connecting via winbox at home. Internet connection via Charter with modem. I am sure it is a simple setting that I am missing. Thank you for the help.
Are you using the default firewall? If so, it blocks connections on the input chain on ether1.
Yes, using default configuration. Can you please let me know what I can do to allow remote connection? Thank you.
This will disable the default firewall as long as you haven’t changed the comments.
/ip fi fi disable [find where comment="default configuration"]
If you look in /ip firewall filter you will see a drop rule in there that specifies anything on the input chain in the interface ether1-gateway. This is the rule that is preventing you from accessing your router outside of your network. You should build a firewall for your router custom to what you need. Look around here and you should find what you need.
The default firewall rule was blocking remote access. I will review your link for additional firewall settings. Thank you for the help.
