[@HorseVengeance]

Thanks!! How can I create more clients or users at the mikrotik router winbox GUI??

Hi @user-gq7fe6xz9k, From ROS v7.14 and later have a Back to Home user manager in the menu. You can find it in IP > Cloud > Back-to-Home-Users. In there you can view all the users added by the mobile app, change their firewall preferences, and add new users if need be.

At 2:38 you redacted some text but not the QR code. Fail. Eg your endpoint is 689.......bd

[@scoop_distribution]

Yep we know. It's a good thing this was a temp setup 😀

How will I get this to work behind a CGNAT? It seems all isp's are going to convert to CGNAT if not already.

[@scoop_distribution]

If you are behind CGNAT Mikrotk's relay service would be used. Everything would still work but might have an effect on VPN performance

[@jacqalas]

Will this relay also work for wireguard clients? Where can I learn more

[@phumlanimhlungu8573]

Is this strictly only for these types of CPU's? What if u have a MIPS or something else> Will it not work?

Hi @phumlanimhlungu8573, Thank you for watching. Unfortunately the Back to Home feature is only available on the ARM, ARM64, and Tilera architectures. On unsupported architectures, the BTH tabs do not appear in the IP > Cloud window.
