MikroTik and WireGuard consulting

Connect locations and remote teams with clear routing, access rules and operating procedures.

IT Service helps businesses and IT teams review MikroTik environments and plan WireGuard VPN connections around the resources people actually need. Start with the existing configuration, network layout and business problem. Agree on the access policy, change window and recovery procedure before making production changes.

When this service fits

You need to connect branch offices or give remote staff access to selected systems.
Your MikroTik firewall, NAT and routing rules have grown without clear documentation.
A VPN connects, but users cannot reliably reach the required applications.
You are taking over a network and need a configuration review and a manageable handover.

For broader LAN, wireless and network work, see networks, Wi-Fi, firewall and VPN.

A scope built around your network

MikroTik configuration review

Review RouterOS configuration, routing, NAT, firewall rules, management access and the purpose of existing exceptions. Identify unused exposure, unclear dependencies and changes that could interrupt remote access.

Prepare an agreed configuration backup and change plan before implementation. Hardware capability, software version and existing services determine which changes are appropriate.

WireGuard connections between locations

Plan peers, addressing, routes and firewall policy for the systems each location needs to reach. Check endpoint reachability, overlapping subnets and the effect of NAT or ISP restrictions before choosing the topology.

A working tunnel is one part of the result. Validation also checks the permitted application paths and confirms that traffic outside the agreed scope remains restricted.

Remote access for staff and contractors

Define which devices need access and which destinations they may use. Agree on split-tunnel or full-tunnel behaviour, DNS requirements, configuration delivery and the process for withdrawing access when a device is lost or no longer authorized.

WireGuard peer configuration works alongside routing and firewall policy. Encrypted connectivity does not replace endpoint security, application permissions or a documented access process.

Troubleshooting and handover

Investigate the difference between a tunnel problem and a routing, firewall, DNS or application issue. Record the checks performed and the changes made. Where monitoring is included, define the checks, notifications and responsibility for responding.

What you receive

The agreed project can include:

A network and VPN dependency map, with the issues found during review.
An access matrix identifying permitted source devices or networks and destination services.
A configuration change plan, maintenance window and recovery procedure.
Connectivity checks covering allowed and restricted traffic, with recorded results.
A handover covering configuration ownership, peer lifecycle and ongoing maintenance.

How the work proceeds

Review. Describe the network, the connection you need and the symptoms you see. We identify the configuration and access required for a scoped review.

Plan. Agree on topology, permitted traffic, dependencies, testing and an implementation window. Arrange an onsite contact or another recovery path where a remote change could remove access.

Implement and check. Apply the agreed changes and test the affected application paths with your team. Record results and any remaining limitations.

Handover. Document the configuration and operating procedure. Decide whether further monitoring or ongoing administration is needed.

The published Rolling Raspberry case study describes MikroTik routing and firewall work, VPN connectivity between US and Serbia routers, and a network at a new location. It provides context for our network work; the published record does not identify the VPN protocol as WireGuard.

Technologies and boundaries

The focus is MikroTik RouterOS routing and firewall configuration, with WireGuard where suitable for the environment. Router models, software versions, client platforms, ISP addressing and existing VPN services are reviewed before implementation is agreed.

Hardware purchases, cabling, onsite installation, ISP service changes, application development and round-the-clock support require separate arrangements. Wireless coverage surveys and wider LAN redesign should be scoped as broader network work. Throughput, latency and availability depend on the actual devices, links and workloads; no fixed improvement is assumed.

Questions about MikroTik and WireGuard consulting

Can you review an existing MikroTik configuration?

Yes. Start with a configuration review, backup arrangements and a description of the business problem. Changes are proposed before implementation and scheduled around the affected services.

Can WireGuard connect our offices and remote staff?

It may be suitable for both, but the addressing, endpoint reachability, client requirements and access policy must be reviewed. A site-to-site link and a staff device connection need different scopes and validation.

What if a location is behind NAT or CGNAT?

We check the available connection paths before committing to a design. A reachable endpoint or an alternative topology may be needed. Keepalive settings can help preserve an existing NAT mapping; they do not by themselves make every endpoint reachable.

Does a VPN give a user access to the whole company network?

Access should match the agreed resources. Routing, firewall policy and application permissions must be considered together; an encrypted tunnel does not automatically define the right access boundary.

Can changes be made without losing our connection?

Remote changes can interrupt the management path. The plan needs a recovery procedure and, where necessary, an onsite contact or alternative access. The maintenance window is agreed for the actual environment.

What should we send in the first enquiry?

Share a high-level summary of router models, software versions, locations, internet connections and the systems people need to reach. Describe any existing VPN and the problem you want to solve. Do not send passwords, private keys or full sensitive configuration in the initial enquiry; agree on a secure exchange method first.

Define the next network change

Tell us which locations or users need to connect, what is failing and which services must remain available. We can start with a review and a practical change plan.
