Re: Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

Seems like a bad idea posting this here.... oh well! I haven't really touched these. I disabled the rules temporally because I'm testing this in production :shock: Anything look bad above the rules?

Re: Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

If 192.168.88.1 is router (most likely), then it's correct, you can ping it, but it doesn't really matter. If you want to block it too, you can, but this time chain=input would be correct one. But again, it's probably pointless, it makes sense only if you want to block access to router completely, ...

Re: Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

It won't do much good in input chain, the right place is forward chain.
I can still ping 192.168.88.1 with the rule on forward. Although I can see there was traffic on these rules.

Re: Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

Use firewall.
I've tried these without luck.

/ip firewall filter add chain=input action=drop src-address=192.168.88.0/24 dst-address=10.10.1.0/24
/ip firewall filter add chain=input action=drop src-address=10.10.1.0/24 dst-address=192.168.88.0/24

Re: Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

I'm not going to watch some video tutorial to learn your wishes. You better express them in a few sentences. But anyway, if you remove ether port from bridge (/interface bridge port), then it'll be isolated from the rest of network(s). Nothing to do with VLANs (as in IEEE 802.1Q) so far. If you the...

Isolated VLAN "Bound" to Specified Ethernet Port.

Is it possible to create a scenario in which connecting an ethernet to a specified port patches you into a totally isolated VLAN? I've been able to achieve something very similar to this using Wi-Fi with a tutorial found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZJ-pM89N7o How would one go about "...

Re: VPN Issues

First you need some sort of routes. Devices that should communicate must know how to reach each other. Client must either use VPN as default gateway or needs route to the other subnet (192.168.1.0/24) leading to VPN tunnel. Devices in the other subnet don't need anything special. Neither does the o...

Hotspot Hardening

In setting up a new Hotspot i noticed that RouterOS might use MD5 as a hash function. Is there anyway i can further secure this; like say using SHA-1 or 2?. Or is MD5 hard coded and the only option?.

If it's on a fix port, you wouldn't even need vlan. 1. separate the port from the bridge 2. assign new subnet to it (with if needed dhcp server config) 2bis: for dhcp config, you might want to use an external dns, so that internal ip's aren't leaked 3. in firewall filter:forward disallow connection...

Re: Slightly Unrelated Problem [SOLVED]

First of all make sure that mikrotik's LAN IP subnet (M20's WAN) does not overlap M20's LAN IP subnet. E.g. if your LAN has IP subnet 192.168.88.0/24, then Mikrotik's LAN should have something else, such as 192.168.188.0/24. Secondly, beware of the method of connecting to internet through Modem. If...
