You will need a lightweight V2Ray image (like v2fly/v2fly-core ). You must create a configuration file ( config.json ) and mount it to the container.
Make sure V2Ray accepts inbound socks/http connections from local network addresses. Step 2: Configure Mangle Rules on MikroTik
# Mark connection /ip/firewall/mangle/add chain=prerouting dst-address-list=v2ray_targeted_traffic action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=v2ray_conn passthrough=yes src-address=192.168.88.0/24 # Mark routing based on the connection mark /ip/firewall/mangle/add chain=prerouting connection-mark=v2ray_conn action=mark-routing new-routing-mark=to_v2ray passthrough=no Use code with caution. Step 3: Establish the Custom Routing Table and Route
Within 5 minutes of booting up, you must press the physical Reset button on the router (or follow the screen prompt) to confirm the mode change. Step 2: Configure Router Networking for the Container v2ray mikrotik
This guide provides a comprehensive framework for integrating V2Ray with MikroTik RouterOS using two primary architectures: containerized execution directly on the router, and a split-device proxy gateway model. Architectural Paradigms
Create a veth (virtual ethernet) interface and a bridge to allow the container to communicate with the RouterOS environment.
If your MikroTik lacks container capabilities, use this split-device configuration. You will need a lightweight V2Ray image (like
Create a dedicated routing table to handle marked traffic:
Upload your validated config.json to the router's disk (e.g., a folder named disk1/v2ray/ ). Ensure your local inbound port inside the file is listening on 0.0.0.0:10808 (SOCKS5) or 0.0.0.0:10809 (HTTP). Configure the container registry and definition:
Reboot the router as prompted by the system to apply changes. Step 2: Create a Virtual Ethernet Interface Step 2: Configure Mangle Rules on MikroTik #
/ip firewall address-list add list=PROXY_DOMAINS address=facebook.com /ip firewall address-list add list=PROXY_DOMAINS address=twitter.com
: She enabled the Container package on the MikroTik. It was like carving out a secret compartment inside the router's engine. : She pulled a lightweight V2Ray image. She configured the config.json VMess over WebSocket + TLS
Common Deployment Patterns
Prior to containers, advanced users would manually cross-compile v2ray-core and a TUN2SOCKS tool to run on the router's CPU. This method is today. The container method is vastly superior in terms of ease of implementation and maintenance.
