V2ray Mikrotik 👑

Running V2Ray (or Xray-core) on MikroTik devices is a powerful way to bypass sophisticated internet censorship using protocols like

Choose transport based on threat model and ISP filtering.

/ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting src-address=192.168.88.0/24 dst-address-list=!LAN action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=v2ray

RouterOS v6 & v7: There is no built-in menu for VMess, VLESS, or Trojan protocols.
The WireGuard Confusion: While RouterOS v7 supports WireGuard natively, standard WireGuard is easily detected by DPI systems. It does not offer the obfuscation layers (like WebSocket + TLS + Web Server) that make V2Ray effective against strict firewalls.

Split-host (explicit proxy)

To use V2Ray on MikroTik routers, you must utilize the Container feature introduced in RouterOS v7, as there is currently no native support for the V2Ray protocol. This allows you to run a V2Ray or Xray client within a virtualized environment on the router to bypass deep packet inspection (DPI) or censorship. 1. Prerequisites v2ray mikrotik

Purpose

Create a routing table:

/routing table add name=v2ray-table fib

Add default route via container IP:

/ip route add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=172.17.0.2 routing-table=v2ray-table

Mark connections from LAN:

/ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting src-address=192.168.88.0/24 action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=v2ray-table passthrough=no

Prevent DNS leaks (redirect DNS to container or use V2Ray’s internal DNS).
