V2ray Mikrotik [SAFE]

Ensure the V2Ray Gateway IP itself is excluded from the Proxy_List in Mangle rules. Local devices bypass router DNS

You can pull the official V2Ray image directly from Docker Hub. Configure the registry URL: /container/config/set registry-url=https://docker.io Use code with caution.

Create a specific routing table rule that sends any packet marked with to_v2ray directly to the IP address of your local V2Ray gateway.

in MikroTik to redirect specific traffic (e.g., filtered websites) toward the container's IP. MikroTik community forum Performance and Comparison V2Ray/Xray (Container) Native VPN (WireGuard/L2TP) Extremely hard to detect (DPI-resistant) Easily detected by deep packet inspection Performance Can see 20–40% speed impact due to container overhead High performance with hardware acceleration Complexity High (requires CLI and container knowledge) Low (native GUI menus) Depends on container resource limits Highly stable Security and Risks

Modern MikroTik routers running RouterOS v7 on ARM, ARM64, or x86 architectures support Docker-compatible containers. This allows you to run a lightweight V2Ray container directly inside the router's resources.

MikroTik uses "Mangle" rules to flag packets matching your proxy list.

This way, only traffic destined to blocked IPs goes through V2Ray.
