V2ray: Mikrotik New!

V2Ray & MikroTik: Capabilities and Realistic Integration

Core Reality Check

MikroTik RouterOS does NOT natively support the V2Ray protocol (VMess, VLESS, Trojan, etc.). You cannot configure a standard V2Ray client directly on a RouterOS device.

Setup Environment Variables: Use the container/config menu to define your config.json location and any necessary environment variables for the V2Ray image.

Remote V2Ray server + MikroTik as gateway/router v2ray mikrotik

Simplest real-world workflow:

Step 3: Pull the V2Ray Image

Since RouterOS pulls Docker images directly: Enable Container Mode : You must manually enable

Drawback: Only works for HTTP/HTTPS. No UDP, no non-web traffic.

Bypassing Restrictions: V2Ray is highly effective at obfuscating traffic to bypass firewall restrictions. Prerequisites v2ray mikrotik

Or direct NAT rules

/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=dst-nat to-addresses=v2ray-server

Enable Container Mode: You must manually enable the container feature via the console (/system/device-mode/update container=yes) and follow the physical trigger (reset button) requirement for security.
