MikroTik RouterOS Firewall Protection Against Intrusion And Malware

Holy moly, check this out folks! I stumbled upon this router insane tutorial on how to set up your MikroTik RouterOS Public IP Firewall. And let me tell you, it's red hot fire knowledge you do not want to miss out on!

Now, let me break it down for ya'll. Have you ever wondered how to protect your device from malicious hackers on the interwebs? Well, luckily for you, MikroTik has your back. They've got this bad boy Firewall that can block unwanted traffic and keep your device frickin' safe.

Ok, let's get into the nitty-gritty. Here are some key things you need to know about configuring your MikroTik RouterOS Public IP Firewall:

  • First things first, log in to your RouterOS web interface. This is where all the magic happens, so pay attention.
  • Next, click on the Firewall tab located on the left-hand menu. This is where you will configure your Firewall rules.
  • There are two types of Firewall rules you can implement: input and forward. Input rules are used to block traffic destined for the router, while forward rules are used to block traffic routed through the router. Decide which one you need and proceed accordingly.
  • Once you've decided which type of rule you want to implement, you'll need to create a new rule. You can do this by clicking on the "add new" button in the Firewall Rules tab.
  • Now, here's where it gets fun. You get to choose what kind of traffic you want to block. You can block traffic by source IP, destination IP, port, protocol, and even by application. The possibilities are endless!
  • After you've decided what kind of traffic you want to block, you need to tell the Firewall what to do with the traffic. You can choose to accept, drop, or reject the traffic. Accept means the traffic will be allowed, drop means the traffic will be blocked with no response, and reject means the traffic will be blocked with a response telling the client that the connection attempt was refused.
  • Finally, you need to decide where your new rule should be placed in relation to the other Firewall rules. You can choose to put it at the beginning or end of the list. The order matters because the rules are evaluated from top to bottom.

And that's all there is to it, folks! I hope you learned something new today. Now go ahead and configure your MikroTik RouterOS Public IP Firewall like the boss you are. Good luck out there in the wild, wild web.
