DNS leaks (Your ISP sees your requests). Solution: Force all DNS traffic to your V2Ray gateway.

Implementing a robust proxy solution directly on your edge router is the most efficient way to secure your entire local network. While MikroTik devices running RouterOS are famous for their networking capabilities, they do not natively support the V2Ray (VMess/VLESS) protocol out of the box.

Once the container is "running," you need to tell MikroTik which traffic should go through it. Policy-Based Routing (PBR)

Tell the router to use the container as the gateway for traffic marked with proxy-mark .

Use a trusted, lightweight V2Ray image from Docker Hub (such as v2fly/v2fly-core ). While MikroTik devices running RouterOS are famous for

: Acts as a bridge, converting the SOCKS5 proxy from Xray into a network interface that RouterOS can route traffic through. 3. Traffic Routing and Firewall

Create and start the container, mapping the uploaded configuration directory to the container’s internal expected directory ( /etc/v2ray/ ): Use a trusted, lightweight V2Ray image from Docker

In the modern digital landscape, the intersection of network infrastructure and cybersecurity has never been more critical. As internet censorship and surveillance evolve in complexity, the tools used to bypass them must similarly advance. Among these tools, V2Ray has emerged as a premier proxy platform known for its flexibility and obfuscation capabilities. Simultaneously, MikroTik has established itself as a dominant force in the networking hardware market, offering high-performance routers at affordable prices. The convergence of V2Ray and MikroTik represents a powerful solution for network administrators and privacy-conscious users seeking to establish secure, unrestricted, and stable internet connectivity.

This uses a separate device (Raspberry Pi, x86, or container) as the V2Ray client. MikroTik redirects all traffic to it.

Check the MikroTik logs ( /log/print ). This usually happens due to syntax errors in your config.json or incorrect path mappings in the /container/add command.

A common issue with V2Ray on routers is DNS hijacking or DNS leaking, which reveals your real location.
