MikroTik hardware excels at high-performance layer 2 and layer 3 routing. Because RouterOS is closed-source and proprietary, you cannot simply download a standard V2Ray binary and run it on the base OS. Instead, network administrators rely on two primary architecture patterns:
Create a virtual ethernet interface (VETH) and a dedicated bridge to isolate the container traffic.
Set up a V2Ray client (such as v2ray-core , xray , or sing-box ) on a separate device (e.g., a Raspberry Pi, a spare PC, or a VM).
Start the container using /container start [number] . Once running, use the Mangle and Routing rules outlined in the transparent proxy section, targeting 172.16.10.2 as your gateway. Optimizing DNS Resolution v2ray mikrotik
Reboot the router.
We need to tell the MikroTik router to grab specific traffic (e.g., accessing blocked sites) and force it through the V2Ray client device.
V2Ray is highly effective at obfuscating traffic to bypass firewall restrictions. Prerequisites MikroTik hardware excels at high-performance layer 2 and
Setting up V2Ray on a MikroTik router offers a comprehensive solution for secure and private internet access. While the process requires some technical knowledge, the benefits in terms of security and freedom are well worth the effort. Always ensure you keep your V2Ray and MikroTik configurations up to date to maintain the integrity of your secure internet connection.
: For specific protocols like VLESS, some users recommend looking into NTC (No Thought is a Crime) for "universal" VPN containers designed specifically for MikroTik environments.
This way, only traffic destined to blocked IPs goes through V2Ray. Set up a V2Ray client (such as v2ray-core

Single-device solution. Cons: Highly resource-intensive. Can significantly slow down lower-end MIPSBE or MMIPS routers. Only recommended for high-end ARM devices (CCR, CRS, or upgraded hAP ax series).
