![]() Unless there is a way of using zerotier for that purpose? It seems though it seems ideal for configuring remotely MT boxes, vice lets say WIREGUARD where I want to let external users use my ISP connection for their needs. However, due to above-mentioned reasons, I actually don't want developers to waste time on it, even though I would benefit from it. Just to be clear - I have great use for both zerotier and letsencrypt in my work as well as home. We have to face reality and use external devices intended for the task instead of attempting to make all-in-one superdevice. We can't have all features in a cheap small router - it simply fails the realitycheck. Remember that manpower of developers and size of Routerboard's flash memory is limited. It can easily spiral out into stage, where developers spend most time upgrading and testing dependencies instead of developing RouterOS itself. More 3rd party services mikrotik supports, more common this situation becomes. ![]() Due to amount of possible extensions (DNS challenges) we will never see full support anyway. Similar point can be made against Let's Encrypt implemented in v7.1beta6 - AFAIK, it uses same webserver as webfig and supports only HTTP challenge - which means that your webfig has to be open to the whole world (at least once in a while to validate the domain) which is totally unacceptable in my opinion. (which means developers had to stop working on other tasks) You can notice that this issue arised several times with Hotspot and its paypal support - it stopped working because paypal upgraded API and Mikrotik developers had to quickly bring a solution because there were real people losing money. If 3rd party upgrades their software, Mikrotik developers must update it in RouterOS as well (otherwise the feature may stop working). I understand that some other people want to use it, but we need to look at it pragmatically - adding support for 3rd party services/code means, developers must spend extra effort to keep it updated. Just because you don't want to use it doesn't mean that others don't want to.
