V2ray — Mikrotik

The question isn't if you should integrate them, but how . Running V2Ray on a separate PC or a Raspberry Pi adds latency and a single point of failure. Installing V2Ray directly on your MikroTik device (where possible) or routing traffic through an external V2Ray server via MikroTik's routing engine gives you enterprise-level control.

/container add remote-image=v2fly/v2fly-core:latest interface=veth1 root-dir=usb1/v2ray /container start 0 You need a config.json file. Create it on your USB drive:

/ip socks set enabled=yes version=5 server=192.168.88.254:1080 /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat action=masquerade /ip route add gateway=192.168.88.254 v2ray mikrotik

By mastering the Mangle table and understanding TPROXY, you transform your MikroTik from a simple router into a censorship-evading, geo-unblocking powerhouse. Last updated: October 2025. RouterOS v7.15+ and V2Fly core v5.22+ tested.

Introduction: Why Combine V2Ray with MikroTik? In the world of network administration, two powerhouses stand out for very different reasons. MikroTik (RouterOS) is the undisputed king of price-to-performance routing, firewalling, and bandwidth management. V2Ray , on the other hand, is the most sophisticated platform for circumventing internet censorship and building complex proxy chains (VMess, VLESS, Shadowsocks, Trojan). The question isn't if you should integrate them, but how

MikroTik does not natively support the VMess or VLESS protocol. Therefore, every "V2Ray MikroTik" setup is essentially a sophisticated routing trick. The most robust, long-term solution is to use that directs specific traffic to a Linux-based V2Ray transparent proxy .

By default, the container gets a virtual IP (e.g., 172.17.0.2). Use Mangle to send traffic there: RouterOS v7

"inbounds": [ "port": 12345, "protocol": "dokodemo-door", "settings": "network": "tcp,udp", "followRedirect": true , "streamSettings": "sockopt": "tproxy": "redirect" ] We create routing marks for the traffic we want to bypass censorship. For example, route all traffic to non-China IPs through the V2Ray gateway.
