  • This is a very confusing setup, and I’m not sure what the intent or end goal is here, but it sounds like you just want split-tunneling for a specific subnet that puts traffic where you want it to go.

    The problem with this is that you need something specific to differentiate traffic because source won’t be enough: DNS, IP subnet, origin port…etc. VLANs won’t work with Wireguard, and I’m not sure you want to go down the rabbit hole of trying to tag other traffic if youre not sure what it is.

    Have run hundreds of these and never had an issue. Never even had to do an RMA out of the box.

    If you’re seeing packet loss on switches, you may need to pay attention to what “port speed” and total “switch fabric” speeds are these days. You can have a 10 port 1Gb switch, but the total fabric only does 6Gb.

    Gonna disagree here. Microtik is a problematic company at best. They’re super lax on security, and they’ve had a lot of issues with their products in general. They also offer no real warranty, but I assume that’s because they aren’t a dedicated networking company (they make other things).

    Just last year the flags were raised on dated firmware that left something like a million devices vulnerable, and their response was lacking.

    On the plus side: they are part of the EU, so data protection laws apply, and they do seem to be in the forefront on uptake of modern equipment and standards.
