If your MikroTik lacks the CPU power to run containers, use this method to route target traffic through an external V2Ray instance running on your local network (IP: 192.168.88.254 ). Step 1: Mark Specific Traffic
Recommended for modern ARM, ARM64, or x86 MikroTik hardware. v2ray mikrotik
: Set up a source NAT rule so the container can access the internet: /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat src-address=172.17.0.0/24 action=masquerade Step 3: Prepare the V2Ray Configuration
Ultra-low latency, no extra hardware. Cons: Requires ARM64; steep learning curve for container management. /ip firewall address-list add list=proxy-list address=1
Deploying V2Ray on MikroTik RouterOS offers an enterprise-grade approach to network privacy. Whether using localized containerization or policy-based traffic mangling, this setup allows your entire home or office network to seamlessly bypass internet censorship without installing client apps on individual user endpoints.
Create a bridge for the containers and a virtual ethernet interface to act as the "bridge" between MikroTik and the V2Ray container. Cons: Requires ARM64; steep learning curve for container
Troubleshooting Checklist
Pull an official, lightweight V2Ray image (such as v2fly/v2fly-core ) and map the configuration directories.
Modern MikroTik routers with ARM, ARM64, or x86 architectures support native Docker-like containers. This allows you to run a lightweight Linux container containing the V2Ray core directly on the router.
Install Debian or Ubuntu on your local gateway machine and ensure IP forwarding is enabled. Run the following commands:
