Wireless Point To Point (P2P) Mikrotik SXT: masquerade really necessary?

Sun Mar 06, 2022 2:39 pm

hi, I watched this tutorial:

I was wondering if the "masquerade" step was a necessery setup for making them work properly, or if setting a route up would be just enough to get the job done.
Your thought please.

Thanks

Masquerade is not prerequisite for point to point connections ... it's only a shortcut which helps evade more or less complex routing configuration (on either of sides).

Yes, I thought the same, but since I'm not an expert I was not sure about that.
Thanks
