V2ray Mikrotik (2026)

For older MIPSBE or SMIPS devices, you cannot run containers. Instead, you set up V2Ray on a Raspberry Pi or a Linux VPS. The MikroTik then uses Policy Based Routing (PBR) or Mangle rules to redirect specific traffic to that V2Ray gateway. 2. Key Steps for Container Deployment (RouterOS v7)

Ensure the container package is installed ( /system/package/print ).

First, you need to activate the container functionality on your router. Connect to your router via SSH or the Terminal in Winbox and run the following commands: v2ray mikrotik

For a leaner setup, you can use a dedicated container that acts only as a client. This is more advanced and requires careful manual configuration. The following environment variables must be set before starting the container: | Variable | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | REMOTE_ADDRESS | Your V2Ray server's IP address or domain | your.vps-server.com | | REMOTE_PORT | The port your V2Ray server is listening on | 443 | | ID | Your unique V2Ray user ID (UUID) | xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | | SOCKS_PORT | The port on which the container will offer a SOCKS5 proxy | 1080 | | ENCRYPTION | Encryption method used by the server, often none for VLESS | none | | FLOW | Flow control for XTLS, e.g., xtls-rprx-vision | xtls-rprx-vision | | FINGER_PRINT | TLS fingerprint to mimic a browser | chrome | | SERVER_NAME | The domain for TLS SNI (for VLESS+REALITY) | www.microsoft.com |

Make sure V2Ray accepts inbound socks/http connections from local network addresses. Step 2: Configure Mangle Rules on MikroTik

/container/mounts add dst=/etc/xray/config.json src=/path/to/your/config.json name=xray-config Connect to your router via SSH or the

If you navigate to /container and see an unknown command error, your router does not have the extra package component installed. Go to the MikroTik Downloads page, pull down the "Extra Packages" archive corresponding to your exact CPU architecture type, extract the .npk file, upload it onto your router storage root, and trigger a standard reboot.

If your V2Ray container is configured with a or TProxy inbound to handle raw IP packets: Create a new routing table for V2Ray traffic: /routing/table/add name=v2ray_route fib Use code with caution.

| Requirement | Solution | |-------------|----------| | | Run V2Ray client on a PC, configure browser/OS proxy. Ignore MikroTik. | | Whole network proxy | Linux box (RPi) as transparent proxy + MikroTik routing. | | RouterOS-only (no extra hardware) | Use WireGuard to a VPS running V2Ray, or accept that native V2Ray isn't possible. | | Advanced + supported | Switch to OpenWrt (supports Xray/V2Ray) or OPNsense (with plugins). |
