Hi Tom, Greetings from Ohio! Since I used the btest for the first time (and Mikrotik), I accidentally ran the test more than a few times while trying to troubleshoot an issue in frustration and now it no longer works, possibly being banned at your end. Would you be able to unblock? I apologize for t...

I fixed the bandwidth tool speed by upgrading to a CHR P1 license, totally forgot about the 1Mbps limit and now the bandwidth test tool speeds are as they should be- Fast. However, accessing the port forwarded services still has latency and then it picks up eventually once it's connected. Could it b...

Thank you. By Gateway , do you mean a Default Gateway or a Static Route? One thing I noticed that the data rates are very very slow, at most 1 Mbps. For eg. for testing, I port forwarded to a Samba Share on the same IP and a 10MB file takes about 3 minutes to transfer to a Client PC. The Samba Serve...

Thank you, this was very helpful and taught me a lot as I'm just starting out with Mikrotik.

This is a good starting point, and I'm wondering if there's a one shot way to achieve the same effect without creating a forward and a reverse NAT separately.

Bingo! It worked. Thank you so much both of you for your incredible help :) The CHR is protected by the Firewall rules on the VM Container it is hosted on, so it only accepts SSH connections from my IP. Now that we got the connection working, what else should be added to make it accept this particul...

Yes, the count increases with every attempt. Just for testing, I assigned a public IP to the server I'm trying to reach via the Router, the SSH works fine. It uses my Public Key so it connects right away. To rule out any firewall issue on the private IP, I attempted SSH from another computer, local ...

Thank you. Now I'm getting a connection timeout error when trying to SSH using the Public IP and Port. However, the source IP and the destination IP:3999 does show up in the "Connections" momentarily and then disappears. I'm able to Ping the destination private IP using the Router CLI. The...

Hi, I just installed the CHR and trying to do a port forward from the WAN IP to a Private IP on port 22. Here's a diagram that explains the setup. Also, I want only a specific IP to be able to establish that connection using that external port. To my understanding, I need to create: a) a NAT rule b)...
