Small firewall question

Hi, I want to put a small MikroTik device inbetween a home ISP router and one specific PC. So port 1 goes to the existing router, and port 2 goes to the PC. The point is to block certain traffic. I want to for instance only allow TCP port 80 and 443 (+DHCP and DNS of course) from that PC. Can someon...

On CRS125 VLANs still have to be configured in "/interface ethernet switch" menu to keep hw-offload working. If they are configured in "/interface bridge vlan", the hw-offload will turn off. Beginners question: I am not using VLANs on CRS125, but was using masterport. Can I stil...

IPsec policy template

Hi,

Who can explain a beginner the purpose of an IPsec policy template?

Secondly, IPsec/Peers: what does the "Generate Policy" option mean? (no, port override, port strict)

It's not clear to me, even after reading the documentation...

Thanks!

Re: Help with config

OK, thanks for the info!

So, if all traffic would be tagged (*), it would be possible? Does Hybrid means tag+untagged, or also tag1+tag2 ?

(*) say all currently untagged traffic would be VLAN100 (so port 2 = VLAN100+VLAN200, port 3=VLAN100 untagged, port 4=VLAN200 untagged)
