Unlocking Secure and Private Internet Access: A Guide to Setting Up V2Ray on MikroTik
Hardware Support: Your router must have an ARM, ARM64, or x86 CPU. MIPSBE devices generally do not support containers. v2ray mikrotik
V2Ray relies on a config.json file. Since you cannot easily edit files inside a running container on MikroTik, you should host this file on the router's disk. Create a folder on your disk (e.g., disk1/v2ray/). Upload your config.json to this folder. Unlocking Secure and Private Internet Access: A Guide
Setup Environment Variables: Use the container/config menu to define your config.json location and any necessary environment variables for the V2Ray image. Minimum: RouterOS v7, 256MB RAM, ARM/ARM64/Tile CPU Optimal:
9. Recommended Hardware
- Minimum: RouterOS v7, 256MB RAM, ARM/ARM64/Tile CPU
- Optimal: 512MB+ RAM, x86_64 or ARM64 (RB5009, CCR, CHR)
- Avoid: MIPSBE (RB951, hEX lite) - too slow for TLS
- Traffic from LAN is redirected by MikroTik to an intermediate Linux host running v2ray (or a local proxy like redsocks/iptproxy) using policy routing, dst-nat, or GRE/VLAN tunneling.
- The Linux host uses TPROXY or iptables REDIRECT to capture connections and forward them through v2ray.
- Pros: clients need no config; flexible routing rules. Cons: additional device + complexity.
