MikroTik Port Forwarding

[@TechFromYorkshire]

For those who are starting out, 'srcnat' is typically associated with internal users wanting access to the internet. The 'source' IP is kept private through translation to the external IP. 'dstnat' is typically used when needing to port forward from the internet to the internal network. It allows an external IP to translate to an internal IP. Obviously, this is greatly simplied and there are other uses but it will help those dealing with Mikrotik's many, many, many (!) features.

Glad to see you doing mikrotik videos not enough on KZbin. I purchased my first mikrotik router 3 years ago and thought I was decent with routers but found out quickly I'm not as good as I thought I was. Great product at an amazing entry level price. You never have to reboot the thing it just runs. I use the mikrotik router with ubiquiti wifi ap's

[@Wazgrel]

Oh my God thank you man!!! Finally I've successfully learned to open ports, I was never able to do this before.

As much of a ubnt fan i am like you and Chris, were using more and more Mikrotik at work and its really great. The RB750gr3 aka Hex is fantastic value for money, winbox with its MAC discovery and connection abilites makes it so easy to work with. I've been wanting to try out configuring the Hex with fail over WAN to usb LTE modem. Looking forward to more Mikrotik content!

One nice thing about using Winbox instead of the web interface is that it splits that long page up into several tabs, most notably "General" where you can do the basic stuff (chain, which inbound IP or interface, etc.), "Advanced" where you can configure things like choosing a list of addresses allowed to trigger the rule (address lists are created under IP-Firewall-Address Lists) and Action where you can specify what the rule does (accept, drop, dst-nat, etc.). Also useful may be going into the top-level Interfaces area and adding a Comment to your WAN connection - in Winbox that shows up on lists, not sure offhand about the web interface. Another useful note if you're just learning is that everything you can configure through the UI can also be configured from the Terminal interface - including by pasting rules in. That lets you drop things in (probably adding "disabled=yes" as part of the rule), then inspect them in the GUI if that's easier for you. The text export or paste also ends up meaning that it's easy to configure a router, dump relevant config as text, tweak as appropriate, then push it back into the router.

Thank you so much I have the same mikrotik interface and it was confusing at first but after your video it's like a dream come true to do port forwarding

[@EricGoodrich]

I had a funny UDP joke to tell, but I lost it somewhere...

[@ayehtunohn]

Stick to TCP jokes!!

[@msthalamus2172]

Thank you for posting this. It was very helpful.

[@perotross]

Although I already knew how to port forward in a Mikrotik, I still have a lot to learn. Its great to see Mikrotik videos using the web interface. Many vids out there using winbox, but running Linux exclusively, the web interface is what I have to use. And it appears to do everything that winbox does. Mikrotiks are very powerful and I hope to see more about them on your channel. Maybe some topics on VLAN's? I have done it, but it always confuses me on how to do an access/edge port versus a trunk port. Love UBNT gear too so keep up the good work there as well!

You can use winbox through Wine (is it Vine or Wine)

[@DeLoreansgarage]

Do you have an suggestions for connecting a Mikrotik Router with a Mikrotik AP? They don't seem to be working together

[@franzschuverer]

video minute 6.46, I understand that ether1 is your WAN with public ip, correct?

[@oleksiibereznikov4774]

Wow man you saved my life, peace

[@ScofieldMuliru]

Thank you for the wonderful learning videos.

[@dunc5623]

When using an uncommon port make sure its in the firewall Filter rules as well, above the final blocking rules

[@i-am-your-faasha9786]

Hay man I know this vidio was done a while back but just want to ask a quick question about port forwarding. I'm struggling to find out what is what on my mikrotik hap ac2. I'm trying to port forward my ps4 to a games port like call of duty modern warfare, Fortnite. Is there any chance you could help me out would be much appreciated 🙏

[@TechFromYorkshire]

Nice video. I'd agree with another comment below that there aren't that many decent Mikrotik videos out there on the web. It's good quality kit with high end features all across the range. I'm still dubious about putting it into production, especially in the data centre, but I wouldn't have any issues with it being in a small office/home office environment.

[@TechFromYorkshire]

Willie Howe fair comment. If it works for the people that use them then power to them.

[@ErykKarany]

How do you do port forwarding when you have your mikrotik as a bridge? I can see for the above that your Address aquisition is Automatic while mine is static. I want to be able to access a server outside my network. Thanks

[@jeremylain7855]

I am trying to remote desktop in to a computer using the wan Ip address and I can do it from my phone using my phone internet and I can connect to it from a different computer using the mobile hotspot internet, but I can't connect to it using the WAN ip address on the same LAN. Is there something else I need to add in the port forwarding to get an outgoing connection, this way I can connect to it from other places maybe, or will it not connect there too?

[@ilyas-aderinahamdillah5760]

Does it work for a webserver?

[@davelodia9157]

HI Willie Howe Can you make video for mikrotik online games priority

[@SpekWong]

Separate gaming and browsing ba? haha

[@happy8774]

How do I make a game server from my router?

[@DCxALBRECHT]

awesome videos! i am part of a growing WISP and look forward to more Tik content!

[@gumli196]

im hosting a game server and need to port forward for people to join. i have to say this video left me even more confused then when i started. how is it so complicated? seems like its just a few clicks on other routers

[@levimixon]

So I have a strange question for you that no one seems to be able to help me with. I am attempting to play a game called artemis bridge( a bridge ship simulator game) and my apartment complex recently upgraded all of our internet. The long and the short of it is, I need to forward the external port 2010 to the internal port 2010 to allow others to join my game through my ip address, and the further I read the documentation the less it makes sense, and no one seems to have a walk through for this setup. Btw my place is now running off of mikrotik router OS 6.40.9 so please help a guy out if you can.

[@janvanham7052]

First make sure that you know the details on "my apartment complex recently upgraded all of our internet." thing because this can screw things up. Is there some FW already in front of the apartment complex that is managed by the ISP ? Or does each tenant has their own ISP router/modem . Does your Mikrotik work with PPPoE or something ? How is the "Internet" side configured ? The solution is really in this video : make 1 "NAT" entry, type "dst nat" and just fill TCP and port 2010 and select "In-Interface" and select the interface on which Internet arrives at your Mikrotik. Then in the action-section select "dst-nat", fill out the internet PC/system IP on which you play in the "to address" and fill 2010 in the "to ports" and you are set. Your PC has a *fixed* LAN IP address ? (the one on which you play Artemis) It better. You now have a permanent mapping ---> Good luck!

[@christopherbedford9897]

How come you didn't have to configure a corresponding "Filter Rule" to make a hole in the firewall?

[@Mommish86]

I have the som problem, just got mikrotik, just opening in NAT is not working

hi willie can you a make video for dota 2 or online games. to make it priority 1. tnx.

[@marcelocorrea7916]

pal, you are conneting to a private ip, to see it working you need to disable the wifi in your phone and use a public ip "will not work:("

[@N9KGC]

Yes I saw that too. That does NOT confirm that the setup is working !!!!! The cell phone was CLEARLY connecting to an internal 192. address.

[@HaloPurple]

Thanks!!!

[@Mia-eh4xr]

Hi! Hope that someone still reads commets. I have a problem that just messes with my mind for a while now. I am new to this all stuff and I have to make my first port forwarding. Scenario goes like this: I have a neighbour that has a site that he wan't to access from the outside world. I have do the forwarding to his internal IP address as shown and I can see that there are bytes and packets flowing when I type my external adddress together with forwarded port in the search engine but after some time it just shows "Time limit exceeded". I would really appreaciate some help because I just simply do not know what to do. I do not have ANY firewall rules (no blocking and stuff), my internet works okay but I just can't get past this stuff. My ISP has opened that given port I try to use as far as I know. Thank You in advance!
