The firewall implements packet filtering and thereby provides security functions, that are used to manage data flow to, from and through the router. Along with the Network Address Translation it serves for preventing unauthorized access to directly attached networks and the router itself as well as a filter for outgoing traffic.
RouterOS features a stateful firewall, which means that is performs stateful packet inspection and keeps track of the state of network connections traveling across it.
It also supports Source and Destionation NAT (Network Address Translation), NAT helpers for popular applications and UPnP.
The Firewall provides features to make use of internal connection, routing and packet marks. It can filter by IP address, address range, port, port range, IP protocol, DSCP and other parameters, also supports Static and Dynamic Address Lists, and can match packets by pattern in their content, specified in Regular Expressions, called Layer7 matching.
The RouterOS Firewall facility also supports IPv6.

RouterOS supports various methods of configuration - local access with keyboard and monitor, serial console with a terminal application, Telnet and secure SSH access over networks, a costom GUI configuration tool called Winbox, a simple Web based configuration interface and an API
programming interface for building your own control application. In case there is no local access, and here is a problem with IP level communications, RouterOS also supports a MAC level based connection with the custom made Mac-Telnet and Winbox tools. RouterOS features a powerful, yet easy to learn command-line configuration interface with integrated scripting capabilities.
- Winbox GUI over IP and MAC
- CLI with Telnet, SSH, Local console and Serial console
- API for programming your own tools
- Web interface
New in RouterOS v4 is the Lua scripting language, which opens up a multitude of approaches in automation and programming of your router. |
