Encrypt DNS queries between the router and a DoH resolver, verify the TLS certificate, secure the cache for the LAN, and diagnose resolution failures.
Mark inbound connections, force their replies back through the same Internet access, and preserve VPN policy routing without breaking published services.
Generate a CIDR list by geographic region, validate it before publishing, import it without wiping the last working version, and apply it to the correct firewall chains.
Properly release the WAN DHCP lease, wait for reconnection, verify the received address, and automate the operation without confusing renewal with anonymity.
Detect bursts of new connections, temporarily quarantine abusive sources and block them early in RAW, while understanding the router's limitations.
Review of the compact eight-port wired router with 10G SFP+ and RouterOS 7: architecture, capabilities, power consumption, temperature and limitations to know.
Announce an IPv4 route to clients using DHCP option 121, encode the prefix and next hop correctly, preserve the default route, and test on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Synchronize RouterOS across multiple sources, distribute time over the LAN via DHCP, protect UDP 123, and optionally redirect reluctant clients.
Transform DNS responses into a dynamic list of addresses, mark the corresponding connections, and forward them into a VPN table without diverting the entire network.
