VPN guide for RouterOS 7

Choose an administration VPN for RouterOS 7

RouterOS 7 adds WireGuard and, on selected hardware, ZeroTier while retaining established protocols. The right choice depends on site count, client systems and restrictions imposed by the Internet connection.

WireGuard or ZeroTier

WireGuard is direct and predictable for point-to-point tunnels. ZeroTier simplifies some multi-site networks but adds a control plane and member management.

Post-migration validation

Test DNS, routes, firewall rules, scripts and APIs after moving from RouterOS 6. A connected tunnel does not guarantee correct policies.
