Setting up Home Firewall

Tue Oct 24, 2017 5:47 am

Hey guys,
I have a Mikrotik RB201 and needed some guidance with setting up a home firewall. I didn't realize that this router was for the more technically inclined. I'm not expecting someone to type out every step, but if someone could direct me to a walkthrough on setting up a firewall with a Mikrotik router, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks all

Hello,
What port are you using for the WAN? What type of connection (DHCP, PPP)? I have a very basic script you can simply copy and paste but it will need some "moulding" to make it right for you.

If you reset the Mikrotik to the default config, the firewall supplied is pretty good.
