How??To connect all links with public addresses. This is the only way.
If the devices you want to reach behind the Mikrotik router are Mikrotik devices as well then you can enable ROMON on all the devices...Is there anything built in or available out there that allows me easy access to my Mikrotik no matter where
Wrong! It works perfect...!People asking for DynDNS features will normally use the internet for access and ROMON does not work over internet.
Oops.. wrong too...ROMON only works in a local (or at least L2-connected) network.
@zacharias, do yourself (and everybody else) a favour and quote the whole sentence including the previous one:Oops.. wrong too...ROMON only works in a local (or at least L2-connected) network.
its network operates independently from L2 or L3 forwarding configuration.
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/RoMON
RoMON works by establishing independent MAC layer peer discovery and data forwarding network. RoMON packets are encapsulated with EtherType 0x88bf and dst-MAC 01:80:c2:00:88:bf and its network operates independently from L2 or L3 forwarding configuration.
A) https://www.cloutik.com/pricing/I like the DynDNS feature of Mikrotik. Specially, that it allows the 1 minute refresh interval time.
However, I have some installations behind other routers and I would love to be able to reach my Mikrotiks without having to do NAT forwards on other firewalls to reach it.
A- Is there anything built in or available out there that allows me easy access to my Mikrotik no matter where in a network diagram I put it as long as it has internet?
B- If not a built in feature, maybe someone has built an easy system I can copy? (currently I use an OpenVPN tunnel but it's a bit messy because the OpenVPN server can break one day).
Either you have not understood my remark or you have not understood ROMON.Wrong! It works perfect...!
Of course you can host a CHR at any cheap hoster for like 3 euro/month (36 euro/year) and use it as a VPN server for this kind of thing, without limit on the number of connected clients.Price is not very crazy at 55 euro / year for up to 10 devices.
Then:technically, in this case RoMon is not working over internet
How exactly do you connect to a Romon agent ? Is VPN needed ? Noit's winbox protocol working over internet.
You said ROMON is not accessible through internet, not me (you can read your post again).. all the rest are just your theory, i never said its an internet protocol...Either you have not understood my remark or you have not understood ROMON.
I hope so too, but your remarks are not helpful because the solution you propose does NOTHING to bring him closer to a solution.How exactly do you connect to a Romon agent ? Is VPN needed ? No
Physical connection through a cable needed? No
Possible over Internet ? Yes
I never said its an internet protocol or anything...
Nothing more to add from my side...
The OP asks for an easy way to access his devices without port forward or antything and so i suggested him an easy solution in case the devices he wants to access are Mikrotiks...
You argue because you just want to argue...
Hope the OP finds a solution....
...(you can read your post again)..
I agree on that... although techniques like port knocking can be applied... Romon was just a thought...not wise the expose to Internet for obvious reasons
IT DOESN'T!!!RoMon works very good on a routed / L3 network, not wise the expose to Internet for obvious reasons
in a different way than I do.I have some installations behind other routers and I would love to be able to reach my Mikrotiks without having to do NAT forwards on other firewalls to reach it.
It isn't!Nowhere did anyone say RoMon IS the solution, it is an OPTION.
You make it so funny... i just laugh...It isn't!Nowhere did anyone say RoMon IS the solution, it is an OPTION.
It looks like both of you are too dumb to understand that any usage of RoMon is not an option to solve the OP's problem of managing a router that is on a remote network behind another router doing NAT.
I did not imagine that people could get that dumb, but apparently it is possible! Oh well...
And remember, it is not an opinion, it is just a description of the facts.
I see no reason to "admit I am wrong". Everything I have written here is correct. End of discussion.
I hope no one replies him back... He will just keep on being offensive and rude... I have already reported his post where he verbally attacks me...
Because RoMon itself will only work over L2 links and the RoMon agent will only work when there is incoming IP connectivity to at least one router that is connected to others over L2 links.I see no reason to "admit I am wrong". Everything I have written here is correct. End of discussion.
So enlighten us why you say it will not work? Then we can also learn something not be so dumb
