MikroTik

This guide will show you how to connect your MikroTik device to the GoodAccess Gateway via a site-to-site connection using the IPsec protocol.

Connecting MikroTik with IKEv2

  • Does not require on-premise public static IP
  • IKEv2 configuration allows you to use MikroTik as the main router (which is connected to internet) or place it locally in your LAN behind the main router

Step 1 - Creating a new branch connection

Click + Add new, enter the Branch name and subnet, and select Gateway.
Choose IKEv2 Protocol, and click Save.
Click the Edit button of your Branch, and navigate to the Configuration Guide.
Save your Credentials and Download setup files.
You may return to the configuration via the Edit button of your Branch at any time.

Step 2 - Uploading the script and setup files

Download a script for MikroTik:
Log in to your MikroTik device, and go to Files.
Upload the script and setup files from Step 1 (extract the files first).
