Mikrotik Automatic Version Update Monthly / Weekly

Fadıl

If you want Mikrotik to update itself automatically, we can prepare a script to make it 1 per month.

In this script we will specify 30 days in interval and add and implement the following script.

In this way, the device will periodically check for an update and when it deems it will perform the update automatically.

First, we’re setting up a timer that runs the update script.

/system scheduler add interval=4w2d name=Auto_Update on-event="/system script run update" 
policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive,romon

We prepared the timer and run the script name we have just started.
Now let’s edit the contents of the script.

What is a VPN? Know the VPN Principles & How it Works

Fadıl

What is a VPN? Maybe this question arises when you’ve just heard of a VPN. To explain what is VPN and the working principle of VPN, please refer to the following article:

VPN ( Virtual Private Network ) is a private connection through the public network (in this case the internet). Here are two words that we can underline that is:

  • Virtual network, which means that the network is only virtual. There is no real network connection between the 2 points that will be related.
  • Private, a network that is formed private where not everyone can access it. The data that is transmitted is encrypted so that it remains confidential even through the public network.

With this VPN we seem to create a network within the network or commonly called tunnel (tunnel). Tunneling is a way of creating private lines using third-party infrastructure. VPN uses one of three existing tunneling technologies: PPTP, L2TP, and the latest standards, Internet Protocol Security (commonly abbreviated as IPSec). VPN is a combination of tunneling and encryption technology.

Know The Type And Type of VPN in Mikrotik

Fadıl

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a method for connecting between network nodes by utilizing Internet connection (Public Network / WAN) and using encrypted protocol so it is more secure. VPN is one of the best solutions to connect multiple remote locations to easily take advantage of each location’s Internet connection.

An example of this is when you manage a network for multiple offices in different locations and away from each other. To connect the office ‘A’ using a physical link will certainly require a large cost. Well, by using VPN we can build an inter-office link by utilizing the existing internet network. Links that are formed complete with encryption so as to minimize the possibility of data will be accessed by people who are not responsible.
