Question

I have two Mikrotik routers. One is connected directly to my modem, and the second is connected to the first router. Let's say i have a static IP address from my provider, let's say 84.1.1.5 and I managed to set up the first router, so i could connect to it remotely just by inserting the 84.1.1.5 and the password, in winbox. My first router has a local ip of 192.168.88.1 and my second router has the ip 192.168.99.1. I tried to forward a port, to the second router, let's say 8090 and by my logic, i thought that accessing the 84.1.1.5:8090 i could connect to the second router.. but no luck.. Question: what should i do, to access remotely my second router?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Depends on what you mean by "accessing" your router. If you want to connect with https, then yes, you should make a dst-nat that has a dst-port 8090 and forwards to 192.168.99.1:443.

The "I want more info" version: The idea is to make a computer in the NATed network available from the outside. So if you know your external IP (or DNS name), you can just access that IP on 1 port that you don't use on the external router, like 8090, and just forward it to your internal router to the port you want/need.
