📄️ 🌐 OSPF PTP
Set up a clean OSPF point‑to‑point (PTP) adjacency using interface templates, a loopback router‑ID, and a /30 transit network. This configuration is ideal for router‑to‑router links where you want predictable neighbor formation and fast convergence.
📄️ ⚡ BFD Failover
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) provides sub‑second link failure detection for OSPF, BGP, and static routes. This guide enables BFD on MikroTik RouterOS v7 to achieve faster failover and smoother reconvergence.
📄️ 🌐 Failover Methods
This guide explains four distinct failover strategies in MikroTik for multi-ISP configurations, each with different mechanisms, latency profiles, and use cases. Understanding the flow and trade-offs helps you choose the right approach for your network topology.
📄️ 🎯 WFH VPNs PBR
This guide explains how to configure Policy-Based Routing (PBR) to intelligently route home call center traffic (RDP, VPN protocols, MS Teams) through a dedicated VPN gateway while keeping other traffic on your main ISP. This prevents VPN congestion, ensures low-latency calls, and isolates business traffic from residential usage.
📄️ 💰 GCash PBR
This guide explains how to route GCash (and similar mobile payment applications) through a dedicated gateway or ISP connection. Useful for separating payment traffic from general browsing, prioritizing financial transactions, or routing through a more reliable connection with better geographic reach for payment processing.
📄️ 🎮 Game VPN PBR
Route gaming traffic through a VPN tunnel while keeping regular internet on direct connection. This guide uses policy-based routing with firewall rules to detect game server traffic (Mobile Legends, DOTA, COD, etc.) and automatically tunnel it through a VPN, reducing latency and bypassing regional restrictions. Perfect for gaming hotspots, reducing WAN congestion, or accessing geo-blocked game servers.
📄️ ☁️ Cloud DDNS PBR
Route MikroTik cloud DDNS updates through a specific gateway to ensure reliable connectivity to Mikrotik's cloud infrastructure. This setup creates a dedicated routing path for cloud synchronization, bypassing congested or filtered routes. Useful for enterprise deployments, multi-gateway setups, or environments where cloud connectivity is critical for remote management.
📄️ 🚀 Speedtest PBR
Detect speedtest traffic in real-time and route it through a dedicated gateway using policy-based routing (PBR). Speedtest detection identifies large, sustained transfers (800KB+, 2-500Mbps connection rate) on TCP port 443 to external addresses. Routes these packets through a separate to-speedtest routing table, preventing speedtest from saturating primary WAN or mixing with other high-bandwidth traffic. Useful for multi-WAN setups, separating speedtest from production traffic, or testing alternate ISP connections.
