Introduction to MikroTik Recursive Routing In modern networking, the concept of recursive routing plays a pivotal role in optimizing data transfer across complex networks. At its core, recursive routing involves a multi-step process where a router resolves the best path to a destination by analyzing and resolving intermediate routes. This methodology ensures that data packets […]

Recursive routing is a method used in networking to determine the best path to a destination by resolving intermediate routes. It involves a process where a router checks its routing table to find the next-hop IP address and then performs another lookup to find the physical interface or actual next-hop that can reach this next-hop

What is an SSL Certificate? An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that establishes a secure, encrypted connection between a user’s web browser and a website’s server. It ensures that any data exchanged between the two is protected from being intercepted or altered by unauthorized parties. This is especially important for websites

This is a follow on from a previous video and guide on how to configure a IKEV2 VPN Server for Android 12+ in which we used certificates generated on the MikroTik and installed on the Andriod device as part of the authenication and encryption. This guide is similar however we won’t genrate any certificates but

With Dynamic Gateways Before continuing, please checkout the first instance of this configuration here where we use the same logic but our gateways are configured statically. The priciple here is the same however how we update the distance of the routes in a failover scenario is different as well as how we get the next-hop

In today’s interconnected world, SSL/TLS certificates are indispensable for securing data transfer and establishing trust between devices and systems. These digital documents rely on cryptography to prove the identity of an entity, such as a server, client, or device, and are a cornerstone of protocols like VPNs, Wi-Fi, and corporate networks. This article explores the
