πŸ‘€ WireGuard Remote VPN Users #

MikroTik SD-WAN makes it easy to deploy secure Client-to-Site WireGuard VPN connections for employees, contractors and remote workers. Create VPN users in seconds and automatically generate everything needed for the connection without manually configuring RouterOS.

πŸš€ Creating a Remote VPN User #

  • Navigate to VPN β†’ WireGuard β†’ Client-to-Site.
  • Enter a friendly Access Name for the remote user.
  • Select the DNS server that will be used by the VPN client.
  • Enable Redirect All Traffic if you want all Internet traffic to pass through the VPN tunnel.
  • Click Add Client.

βš™οΈ Automatic Provisioning #

Once the client is created, MikroTik SD-WAN automatically generates:

  • WireGuard Private Key
  • WireGuard Public Key
  • Preshared Key
  • VPN Address
  • DNS Configuration
  • Allowed IPs
  • Persistent Keepalive
  • Complete Client Configuration

πŸ“± QR Code Provisioning #

  • No manual configuration is required.

πŸ’» Configuration Options #

  • View the complete WireGuard configuration.
  • Copy the configuration directly to the clipboard.

🌐 Redirect All Traffic #

The Redirect All Traffic option determines how the remote user accesses the Internet.
