You think the UI is rough, try the cli.
- lillecarl 3y agoThere's a learning curve indeed, but it's also essentially just a thin wrapper around nftables (read iptables) so you learn about Linux networking by using them
- bastard_op 3y agoI've been using unix and linux since the 90's and linux full-time on every system of mine, and Tik's still seemed entirely counterintuitive to me. I'd rather just deal with iptables and linux directly without the wonky cli.
- sonicanatidae 3y agoI prefer the cli for Mikrotik, but that's true for most firewall, routers, etc. YMMV.
- doubled112 3y agoI actually found the Mikrotik CLI easy to learn because it and the GUI are basically 1:1. For example: /ip/firewall/filter add is in the UI under the sidebar IP -> Firewall, then the Filter tab, then click add. The parameters are named the same in both too.
