I had a remote site start to seriously misbehave recently. The MK would crash and the CPU run at 100% Tracked it to DNS. Seems it was getting hammered with Internet packets on DNS despite an extensive set of firewall rules. There are no port forwards and only a single management EOIP connection to o...

Senario 2 X WAN connections- 1 X Ethernet 1 X PPPoE (both fixed IP's) Ethernet connection is the primary connection for the LAN PPPoE services all the DMZ traffic and acts as failover for the ethernet 1 X LAN 10.0.1.0/24 1 X DMZ with 3 web servers 10.0.2.0/24 SRCNAT works fine as does failover on bo...

Hello again. Something very interesting, I added a nat rule : add action=masquerade chain=srcnat dst-address=192.168.2.0/24 src-address=\ 192.168.2.0/24 I masquerade my own LAN and now I have access to my remote LAN!! My problem is why the masquerade rule works and I can reach the remote LAN? Why i...

Screenshot.png I'm trying to solve an issue with a failover setup that I can't get to work properly on my test bench. I'm testing pending deployment. There will also be a backup link between router 1 & 2 installed at some point. If the link drops between router 1 & 2 I want traffic to rever...

From the MK specs: "S+RJ10 module is supported also on devices with passive cooling, but may require an extra cooling." My vendors who also supplied the 4011 never mentioned the overheat issue until I called support at which time they reported they had received multiple calls about the pro...

Unfortunately moving to fibre is not possible in this particular location due to the constants of the upstream provider. After several tests it was found the Ubquiti SPF 10G module will not report temperature to the 4011 (or other MK routers that I tested it in) so I elected to re-use the MK SPF and...

Having had some serious overheating issues with a Mikrotik 10G S+RJ10. From research I find this is not a new issue with lots of comments and a few solutions presented. I found my device was running insanely hot at around 95 degrees C despite being in a ventilated outdoor cabinet and it started shut...

A bit of digging on the MKController website was no help and trying to obtain support from them is somewhat fraught as they only operate 9 - 5 Brasilia time - That itself ought to be a cautionary warning to anyone thinking of using their MKController! I've reached out to them to no avail. Further di...

An error in the log reads: script, info MKController status check ERROR - dns not working After some fruitless digging I realised I had installed the MKController to test and had later uninstalled the application. However it appears there is some residual code running that I can't seem to remove! Th...

Thanks for the feedback. The OMV server requires a reboot to restart the VPN's. Interesting comments on PCC. I've gone down this route. I disabled all rules save for the WAN1 NAT to keep existing services running. Tried removing pppoe and using direct IP's and various other solutions to no avail. I'...

Can anyone assist please? I've been pulling my hair out with load balancing and fail-over set-up. I simply can't get it to work properly. I'm probably missing something really stupid but I simply can't see it. The worst thing is the system is 'live' and working fine on one connection so I have to be...
