Have a question about remote winbox access. We provide Internet services through a Fiber and Wireless Network, the owners are part of a collective of local Country Governments so they don't resell services, just manage the network.

We have a RB2011LS that handles traffic for all of our customers, most of the Wireless CPE's are MikroTik, some are Ubiquiti. I can SSH into a customers MikroTik CPE from our MikroTik core router, but I'm curious, is there any way to get Winbox GUI access?

Thanks

i have a tik behind a tik at each of my vpn client sites.

from my office its easy i just use the ip address but i wanted to connect from outside the network specifically not winbox but the API to use tiktool on my iphone. I setup DST-NAT
In this example RouterOS is seeing traffic trying to enter the WAN interface (from outside the network in my case) on port 99 and sending it to 192.168.4.99 on the traditional 8291 winbox port.

All i have to do is save this router in my winbox with this specific port; if i replace the router i don't need to be messing around with changing the default ports for the service when im in a hurry.

I have also seen people who know "The Dude" and this issue is trivial for them because they can "see" the device behind the router if using the software properly.

reply back if you need more help

Hi
Stewie01,

Change the Winbox access port in the customer's router to 8292: Forward port 8292 on your RB2011LS: You will have to change "ether1" to whatever you call your in-interface.
Next, make a NAT rule: You will have to change "ether1" to whatever you call your in-interface. Change the to-address to the address of your customer's router.

Please let me know if this works.

Sincerely,

Don James

Hello,

Why I have to change the port of the WinBox service?

Can I leave in the default port?

Thanks nd happy new year!
