MikroTik RouterOS generally logs various system events and status information. Logs are mainly saved in router’s memory (RAM) or disk. MikroTik logs can also be sent by email or even can be sent to a remote syslog server. All logs those are saved in router’s local memory can be viewed from Log menu. Any log entry that is saved in local memory contains time and date when event occurred, topics that this message belongs to and message itself. But local log information is not enough for analyzing user’s activity completely. So, if you wish to view user activity elaborately, you must use any remote syslog server. In this article, I will configure a remote syslog server named WebProxy Log Analyzer which will help to get user activity more elaborately.

MikroTik Configuration for Sending Log Information
MikroTik Router basic configuration and transparent web proxy configuration are prerequisites for configuring a WebProxy Log Analyzer syslog server. If you are a new MikroTik user, please spend some time to study and configure MikroTik Router Basic Configuration using Winbox and MikroTik Router Web Proxy Configuration and then continue the rest of this article.
We will now complete MikroTik Router end configurtion so that it can send log information to WebProxy Log Analyzer syslog server. Follow my below steps to complete MikroTik end configuration.
Go to System > Logging and click on Action tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add a new action.
Type action name what you like in Name field (example: Webproxy) and choose remote from Type drop-down menu.
Put your Windows OS IP address (example: 192.168.20.20) where WebProxy Log Analyzer will be installed in Remote Address field. Don not change Remote Port and leave it as default port 512 and then click Apply and OK button.
Now click on Rules tab and click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add a new logging rule.
In New Log Rule window, choose web-proxy from Topics drop-down menu and type Prefix as you want such as Proxy and then choose the action name that you have created from step 3(here, Webproxy) from Action drop-down menu. Click Apply and OK button.
MikroTik Router side configurations has been completed. MikroTik Router will now send all Web Proxy Logs to the WebProxy Log Analyzer syslog server. So, we will now configure our WebProxy Log Catcher which will catch all the logs those will be sent by MikroTik Router.
Webproxy Log Analyzer Configuration in Windows OS
Now we will install and configure WebProxy Log Analyzer in Windows Operating System. First download WebProxy Log Setup (.exe) file from this link. After completing download, click on the (.exe) setup file to start installation and follow the instructions to complete the whole installation process and then do below steps to do general settings.
Go to Settings > Generalmenu.
Enter IP address of your Windows OS (here, 192.168.20.20) that we have entered in MikroTik Router configuration, UDP Port 512 and Buffer 400.
Write log to: Select a folder where you want to save your logs or leave it as default.
Import from: Select a folder from where you want to import logs or leave it as default.
DB Location: No need to change it. Leave it as default.
After few moments it will create a log file in your selected folder and WebProxy Log will be stored in this file. Now we will import this files to see log reports with WebProxy Log Analyzer.
If you left default settings, you will see two folders are created in WebProxy Log folder. One is Current Logging where the current logs will be stored and another is Logs. Go to File > Import logs. Import Logs window will be appeared now.
Now browse the Current Logging folder by clicking Browse button and click Import button and then click Optimize button.
Now go to Settings > IP aliases and click Plus (+) to add a user. As soon as a row will be created. Now put user’s IP in IP address column and user’s name in Alias column and repeat this steps for all your LAN users. Alternatively, you can click From DB button and all available IP will be listed. If you don’t put user’s IP address and Alias here, you will not be able to track that user activity with WebProxy Log Analyzer.
Now select the user whose activity you want to track from Select user drop-down menu and select date ranges from the calendar and then click Generate button to see report.
You can also see various pie chart from the Reports menu.
WebProxy Log Analyzer installation and configuration has been completed. Now you can see your users browsing information with this log analyzer software so easily and can track your user activity.
You should follow all the above steps carefully to configure MikroTik WebProxy Log Analyzer. If you face any confusion to follow above steps, watch my be video tutorial about MikroTik WebProxy Log Analyzer configuration. I hope, it will reduce your any confusion.
MikroTik Router WebProxy Log Analyzer configuration has been explained step by step in this article. I hope, you are now able to configure a WebProxy Log server so easily. If you face any problem to configure MikroTik WebProxy Log server, please discuss in comment or contact with from Contact page. I will try my best to stay with you.
A Proxy Server is usually placed between users and the internet so that the proxy server can track the activities of any user. Formerly, a proxy server was mainly used for caching the static content of any web server because the internet speed was too slow. So, users would get high speed for browsing as if they were browsing a local server. But nowadays the internet bandwidth has increased. So, the proxy server is usually not used for web caching today rather than it is popularly used as ACL (Access Control List) server. MikroTik RouterOS can perform as a HTTP proxy server. As a proxy server MikroTik Router has the following features.
Regular HTTP Proxy Server: MikroTik Router can perform as a regular HTTP proxy server where a user can specify the proxy for him with his/her browser.
Transparent proxy server: MikroTik RouterOS can also perform as a transparent proxy server where users do not know about the proxy being enabled and there is no extra configuration to the user’s browser.
Access Control List: It can do access list by source, destination, URL and requested method (HTTP firewall).
Cache access list: MikroTik can specify which object have to cache and which is not.
Direct Access List: To specify which resources should be accessed directly and which through another proxy server.
Logging facility: MikroTik Router can store information about proxy operation or it can send logging information to another syslog server.
A proxy server may look like below diagram where users must go through the proxy server for accessing internet. So, users activity can easily track with this proxy server.
Transparent Web Proxy
Web Proxy Server Configuration with MikroTik
In this article, we will know how to turn our MikroTik router as a proxy server. For configuring a complete proxy server with MikroTik router, we have to perform below 4 steps.
MikroTik Router Basic Configuration
Web Proxy Configuration
Transparent Web Proxy Configuration
Blocking Open Proxy
Devices and IP information those are using in this article for configuring a web proxy are given below.
MikroTik Router v5.20
WAN IP: 192.168.30.2/30
LAN IP: 192.168.20.0/24
Step 1: MikroTik Router Basic Configuration
First we need to do MikroTik Router basic configuration (IP, Route, NAT and DNS configuration) before configuring a web proxy server. If you have a MikroTik Routerboard, follow my article about MikroTik Router Basic Configuration using Winbox and complete basic configuration. If you plan to install MikroTik OS in a PC, follow my article about Install MikroTik OS on PC and complete MikroTik Router Basic Configuration and then continue the rest of this article for configuring a web proxy server with MikroTik Router.
Step 2: Web Proxy Configuration
After completing MikroTik router basic configuration, we will now enable proxy service so that our MikroTik Router acts as a proxy server. So, follow my below steps to enable proxy service in your MikroTik router.
Go to IP > Web Proxy menu. Web Proxy Settings window will appear.
Click on enabled checkbox and put your WAN IP address (in this article 192.168.30.2) which will be used as proxy server address in Address input box or you can leave it blank. If you left it blank all interface IP will be used as proxy server IP Address. Optionally you can change Port number or you can leave it to the default port 8080.
If you plan to do a caching proxy server, choose Max. Cache Size to unlimited and click on Cache on Disk checkbox. But in this case, MikroTik Router must have enough storage to cache web content. If you have a Routerboard, you have to add an additional hard disk or you can plan to install MikroTik OS on a PC for getting extra storage.
Now click Apply and then OK button.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ip proxy> set enabled=yes port=8080 src-address=192.168.30.2
Now your MikroTik Router will turn into a regular proxy server. If you set manually this IP and Port in your browser’s proxy settings, your browser will use MikroTik Router as a proxy server. But you rarely want a regular proxy server. So, you need to turn MikroTik Router into a transparent proxy server. For this, a firewall rule should apply that I will show now.
Step 3: Transparent Web Proxy Configuration
Now we will turn our MikroTik proxy server into a transparent proxy server. For this, we should apply a destination NAT rule that will redirect all 80 port (HTTP) requests to 8080 port (Proxy Server Port) so that users cannot know about proxy server and there will be no extra configuration to the user end. To apply NAT rule in your MikroTik router, follow my below steps carefully.
Go to IP > Firewall and click on NAT tab and then click PLUS SIGN (+) to add new NAT rule.
In General tab, choose Chain = dstnat, Protocol = 6 (tcp) and Port = 80.
In Action tab, choose Action = redirect and To Port = 8080.
Now click Apply and OK button.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=8080
Transparent web proxy configuration has been completed. Now your MikroTik proxy server can be used as both transparent web proxy and normal web proxy at a time. In transparent mode it is possible to use it as standard web proxy too.
Step 4: Blocking Open Proxy
Now MikroTik Router is a Proxy server which can be accessed from anywhere and that is the problem. Thousands of hackers on the internet looking such kind of proxy server to do criminal or unwanted activity. So, we must block internet user to access our proxy. For this do the below steps carefully.
Go to IP > Firewall and open Filter Rules tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new firewall rule.
In General tab, choose Chain = input, Address = 0.0.0.0/0, Protocol = 6 (tcp), Dst. Port = 8080, In Interface = ether1 (WAN Interface Name).
In Action tab, choose Action = drop.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ip firewall filter add chain=input src-address=0.0.0.0/0 protocol=tcp dst-port=8080 in-interface=”ether1 WAN” action=drop
Now proxy server is safe from doing unwanted activity by the public internet users or hackers.
Transparent web proxy in MikroTik router has been shown in above steps. If you face any confusion to follow above steps successfully, please watch my below video tutorial about MikroTik Transparent Web Proxy Configuration. I hope, it will reduce your any confusion.
Proxy Based Firewall/ACL
MikroTik proxy based firewall or ACL works as the same way as the firewall rule works. ACL is implemented from top to bottom. First matching rule takes decision of what to do with this connection. Connections can be matched by its source address, destination address, destination port, sub-string of requested URL or request method. If none of these parameters is specified, every connection will match this rule.
If connection is matched by a rule, action property of this rule specifies whether connection will be allowed or deny. If connection does not match any rule, it will be allowed.
We have configured a transparent proxy server with MikroTik Router in our previous step. Now we will apply some ACL in our proxy server with example.
Block Particular Website with URL
Say, you want to block a website named Facebook which URL is [https://www.facebook.com]. So, do the below steps to block Facebook URL by proxy server.
Go to IP > Web Proxy and click on Access button from right side button panel. Web Proxy Access window will appear. Now click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new access rule. New Web Proxy Rule window will appear.
In this window, type facebook.com in Dst. Host input field and choose deny from Action drop-down menu.
Click Apply and OK button.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ip proxy access add dst-host=www.facebook.com action=deny
This rule will block Facebook for all users. We can also block a site for a specific IP block users. For this just mention IP block in Src. Address input field or do the below cmd:
ip proxy access add src-address=192.168.20.0/24 dst-host=www.facebook.com action=deny
Where 192.168.20.0/24 is a LAN IP block who cannot access Facebook.
Note: MikroTik Web Proxy cannot track HTTPS connection. So, it cannot block [https://www.facebook.com].
Block Website with Key Phrase
You can also block website that contains certain keyword in URL. Say, you want to block all the URLs which contain mail keyword in URL. For this, do below steps carefully.
Go to IP > Web Proxy and click on Access button from right side button panel. Web Proxy Access window will appear now. Now click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new access rule. New Web Proxy Rule window will appear.
In this window, type :mail in Dst. Host input box and choose deny from Action drop-down menu.
Click Apply and then OK button.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ip proxy access add dst-host=:mail action=deny
This rule will block all the websites those contain key phrase ‘mail’ in URL. Such as, www.gmail.com, www.hotmail.com
Stop Download Specific File Type
You can also stop downloading specific file types like .exe, .flv, .mp4 and so on. For this, do the below steps.
Go to IP > Web Proxy and click on Access button from right side button panel. Web Proxy Access window will appear now. Now click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new access rule. New Web Proxy Rule window will appear.
In this window, Type *.exe in Path input filed and choose deny from Action drop-down menu.
Click Apply and then OK button.
Alternatively, do this cmd: ip proxy access add path=*.exe action=deny
These are few examples that can be done with Access List. You can also try applying your own logic or can do googling for finding your own demand.
MikroTik Router web proxy configuration has been discussed step by step in this article. I hope, you are now able to configure web proxy in your MikroTik router and can apply ACL for your network. However, if you face any problem to configure your web proxy server with MikroTik Router, feel free to discuss in comment or contact with me from Contact page. I will try my best to stay with you.

MikroTik Router is popularly used in not only ISP network but also enterprise office network. So, network administrators of any company should learn how to maintain MikroTik router properly. A regular task of a network administrator is to store configuration file backup. Almost every network administrator takes configuration file backup manually. But MikroTik router provides an E-mail tool by which network administrators can automate configuration file backup regularly via email and can reduce his/her daily manual task easily. E-mail tool is not configured by default in MikroTik router. So, network administrators must configure E-mail tool as well as do some scripting for getting email backup service. In this article, I will show you how to configure MikroTik E-mail tool to get configuration file backup via email with a few steps.
Now we will configure MikroTik E-mail tool so that it can send configuration file backup via email. Complete configuration for storing backup and then sending via email can be divided into 3 steps.
Email configuration
Writing script for storing backup and sending Email
Creating scheduler for executing script regularly
Step 1: MikroTik Router Email Configuration
For sending email from MikroTik router, first we need to configure sender email. MikroTik does not have a SMTP server. For this, we have to provide SMTP server as well as username and password so that MikroTik router can send mail through that SMTP server. So, to setup SMTP server and username and password in your MikroTik router, follow my below steps carefully.
Go to Tools > Email and provide sender email information as below: Server: SMTP Server IP address (Use your mail server IP or try using this Gmail IP: 173.194.77.108) Port: SMTP Server Port (usually 25 or if you use Gmail SMTP, use 587) From: Put your email address which will indicate from address for the mail. User: Put email user name (first part of @ sign) or full email address if applicable. Password: Put your email password.
Alternatively, you can do below cmd:/tool e-mail set address=173.194.77.108 set port=587 set from=systemzonedotnet@gmail.com set user= systemzonedotnet set password=******* Where 173.194.77.108 is Gmail SMTP Server IP, systemzonedotnet@gmail.com is a test mail ID created for this article and “*******” is the password.
For checking email configuration, send a test mail from MikroTik with below cmd:/tool e-mail send to=sezan.sayeed@yahoo.com subject=”email test” body=”email test” tls=yes
If everything is OK, the test email will be sent to the receiver email address. Email configuration has been completed if you follow above steps carefully. Now we will write script for storing backup file and sending via mail.
Step 2: Script for storing backup file and sending via email
After completing email configuration, we will no write a script that will store backup file and then send the backup file to the desired mail address. Follow below steps to write script in your MikroTik router.
Go to System > Scripts and click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new script. New Script window will appear.
Type your script name (for example, Mail Backup) in Name input box and then copy and paste the below code in source box. :log info “Mikrotik Backup JOB Started . . . “ :global backupfile configbackup :log info “Deleting old Backup File If available otherwise ignore & process further . . . “ /system backup save name=$backupfile :log info “Backup process pausing for 10s so it complete creating backup file” :delay 10s :log info “Start Sending Backup File via Email using GMAIL SMTP . . .” tool e-mailsend to=sezan.sayeed@yahoo.com subject=([/system clock get date] . ” MikroTik Backup”) body=”MikroTik email Backup” tls=yes file=$backupfile :delay 40s :log info “Backup Finished” :log info “Deleting Backup File. All Done.” /file remove $backupfile
Now click Apply and OK button for saving this script.
You can run this script manually by clicking Run Script button or typing this cmd: > system script run 0
Script for storing configuration backup file and sending the file via email is now ready. Now we will create a scheduler so that this script can be run regularly at a fixed time.
Step 3: Scheduler for Executing Script Regularly
We have created script for storing configuration and sending via mail. But the script cannot execute itself. So, we have to create a scheduler that will execute the above script regularly at our desired time. For creating a scheduler in your MikroTik router, follow my below steps.
Go to System > Scheduler and click on PLUS SIGN (+) to add new scheduler.
Type scheduler name in Name input box and put script executing time in Start Time input box. For example, if you want to execute the script at 5:30 PM, put the time as 17:30:00.
Put sending time interval at Interval input field. For example, if you want to execute the script daily, put the value as 24:00:00
Now put your script name that you have provided at step 2(here, Mail Backup) in On Event box and then click Apply and OK button.
Scheduler is now ready. If everything is OK, MikroTik Router will send a mail regularly to the desired email address where configuration file should have attached.
You should follow the above steps one by one otherwise your desired result may not come. If you face difficulty to do above steps properly, please watch my video tutorial carefully about MikroTik Router Auto Backup via Email. I hope, it will reduce your confusion.
Note: This configuration has been done in MikroTik Router OS version 5.20. If you face any problem in upgraded version, please let me know. I will try to solve the problem.
MikroTik Router configuration file backup via email has been discussed in this article. I hope, you are now able to configure your MikroTik Router for sending configuration file backup via email. If you face any problem, feel free to discuss in comment or contact with from Contact page. I will try my best to stay with you.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that extends private network across a public network. It enables private network users to send and receive data across public network as if their network devices were directly connected to the private network.
MikroTik Router provides a lot of VPN services. Among them, MikroTik PPTP is the mostly used VPN service. It is a client-server VPN. So, a user can access server, printer, IP phone and any other network devices of any private network across public network using MikroTik PPTP. For example, if you are a system administrator or an employee of an office and you need to access your office server, printer or any network devices while you are outside of your office, MikroTik PPTP will be a better solution for you.
MikroTik PPTP service can be applied in two methods.
Connecting remote workstations/clients (VPN between routers and PPTP clients, almost all OSs including Windows)
In this article, I will show how to configure MikroTik PPTP service that will be able to connect a remote workstation (any Operating System including Windows) across public network and the remote workstation will be able to get access to local network as if the workstation was directly connected to the local network.
Network Diagram
To configure a MikroTik PPTP service that will connect a remote workstation across public network, I am establishing a network like below diagram.
Client-server Network Topology
In this diagram, a MikroTik Router (say your office router) is connected to internet through ether1. Workstations are connected to ether2. Laptop is connected to the internet and can reach MikroTik Router’s public IP. After configuring PPTP Tunnel, the laptop will be able to connect to MikroTik local network as if it was directly connected to the local network.
IP Information for this configuration
MikroTik WAN IP: 172.22.15.221/24 (Must replace with your Public IP provided by your ISP)
MikroTik LAN Gateway: 192.168.20.1/24
Local Address for remote client: 192.168.20.1 (MikroTik LAN Interface IP)
Remote Address: 192.168.20.50 (IP address that will be assigned to remote client)
MiroTik VPN Configuration with PPTP
VPN configuration in MikroTik router with PPTP service can be divided into two parts.
Part 1: MikroTik router basic configuration
Part 2: PPTP server configuration
Part 1: MikroTik Router Basic Configuration
In the first part, we will complete MikroTik Router basic configuration. Basic RouterOS configuration includes assigning WAN IP, LAN gateway IP, DNS IP, NAT configuration and default route configuration. The following steps will show how to do these topics in your RouterOS.
Login to MikroTik RouterOS using winbox and go to IP > Addresses. In Address List window, click on PLUS SIGN (+). In New Address window, put WAN IP address (172.22.15.221/24) in Address input field and choose WAN interface (ether1) from Interface dropdown menu and click on Apply and OK button. Click on PLUS SIGN again and put LAN IP (192.168.20.1/24) in Address input field and choose LAN interface (ether2) from Interface dropdown menu and click on Apply and OK button.
Go to IP > DNS and put DNS servers IP (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) in Servers input field and click on Apply and OK button.
Go to IP > Firewall and click on NAT tab and then click on PLUS SIGN (+). Under General tab, choose srcnat from Chain dropdown menu and click on Action tab and then choose masquerade from Action dropdown menu. Click on Apply and OK button.
Go to IP > Routes and click on PLUS SIGN (+). In New Route window, click on Gateway input field and put WAN Gateway address (172.22.15.1) in Gateway input field and click on Apply and OK button.
Basic RouterOS configuration has been completed. Now it is time to enable PPTP server in our MikroTik Router.
Part 2: PPTP Server Configuration in MikroTik Router
After completing MikroTik router basic configuration, you need to configure PPTP server in MikroTik Router. Complete PPTP server configuration in MikroTik router can be divided into four steps.
Enabling PPTP server
Creating PPP Secrets (Username and Password)
Enabling proxy-arp on LAN interface.
Creating PPTP interface
Step 1: Enabling PPTP Server in MikroTik Router
The first step to create PPTP Tunnel in MikroTik Router is to enable PPTP server. The following step will show how to enable PPTP server in your MikroTik Router.
Go to PPP menu item and click on PPTP Server button from PPP window.
Now click on enabled checkbox and then click Apply and OK button. PPTP server will be enabled.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > interface pptp-server server> set enabled=yes
And to show pptp-server status: > interface pptp-server server> print
Step 2: Creating PPP Secrets(username and password)
Now it is time to create a user who will be connected to pptp server. To create username and password, follow the below steps carefully.
Go to PPP > Secrets and click on PLUS SIGN (+).
Now put username and password in Name and Password input field. Choose Service=pptp, Profile=default, Local Address= 192.168.20.1 (Router interface IP), Remote Address= 192.168.20.50 (Local IP address that will be assigned to the remote client).
Click Apply and OK button. A PPTP user that means VPN user will be created now.
Alternatively, you can do this cmd: > ppp secret> add name=username service=pptp password=123 local-address=192.168.20.1 remote-address=192.168.20.50
To show secrets from cmd: > ppp secret> print
PPP user who will be connected from remote client machine has been created. At this point, if the user gets connected from the remote client machine and try to ping any workstation from the remote machine, the ping will time out because the remote client is unable to get ARPs from workstations. The solution is to set up proxy-arp on the LAN interface
Step 3: Enabling proxy-arp on LAN interface
The following steps will show how to enable proxy-arp on your LAN interface.
Click on Interfaces menu item and then click on interface tab.
Click twice on your LAN interface (ether2). Interface property window will appear.
Under General tab, choose proxy-arp from ARP dropdown menu.
Click Apply and OK button.
After enabling proxy-arp, the remote client can successfully reach all workstations in the local network behind the router.
Step 4: Creating PPTP Interface
You can optionally create PPTP interfaces. If you do not create PPTP interface manually, a PPTP interface will be created dynamically when a user will be connected. The following steps will show you how to create a PPTP interface for a specific user manually in MikroTik router.
Go to PPP > Interface and click on PLUS SIGN (+) and then choose PPTP Server option.
Put PPTP interface name in the Name field.
Put username for whom you are creating this interface in User input field.
Click on Apply and then OK button.
If you need to apply specific filter rule for a specific user, create this PPTP interface otherwise it is always better to allow creating PPTP interface dynamically.
PPTP Server is now ready to accept PPTP client. Now I will show how to create PPTP client in Windows Operating System.
PPTP Client Configuration
Almost all Operating Systems including Windows support PPTP client. In this article, I will show how to configure PPTP client in Windows 7 operating system. All other Windows versions follow almost the same procedure.
Go to Control Panel and choose View Items by Small icons and then click on the Network and Sharing Center item.
From Network and Sharing Center window, click on Setup a new connection or network
From Setup a New Connection or Network window, choose Connect to a workplace connection option and click on Next button.
Connect to a Workplace window will ask: How do you want to connect? Click on Use my Internet connection (VPN)
Now provide MikroTik Router’s WAN IP in Internet address input field and provide a name of your VPN in Destination name input field and then click on Create button. Your VPN network adapter will be created.
Again go to Network and Sharing Center window and click on Change adapter settings link. Your newly created VPN adapter will be found here.
Click mouse right button and click Connect option.
Now provide PPTP user’s username and password in Username and Password input field respectively and then click Connect button.
If everything is OK, you will be able to connect to your PPTP server and a PPTP Tunnel will be created between MikroTik Router and your remote client. Now try to ping and hope there will be no problem to get ping reply.
If you use other operating system than Windows, please search in Google how to create PPTP client at that specific operating system. I hope you will a get solution.
If you have any confusion to do above steps properly, please watch my below video carefully about MikroTik VPN configuration with PPTP. I hope, it will remove your any confusion about VPN in MikroTik Router with PPTP service.
MikroTik VPN configuration with PPTP has been discussed in this article. I hope, you are now able to configure a VPN tunnel with MikroTik PPTP. However, if you face any problem to configure a VPN network with MikroTik router, feel free to discuss in comment or contact with me from Contact page. I will try my best to stay with you.
