Once the container is downloaded, you must mount your config.json file into the container. This requires creating a directory on the router's file system and mounting it to /etc/v2ray/ inside the container.
Thus, the standard workflow is:
: The "container" package must be installed and enabled on your device. High-Level Deployment Strategy
Pairing V2Ray with (RouterOS) creates an enterprise-grade, silent gateway. Instead of running V2Ray on a fragile PC or smartphone, you run it on your router. Every device connected to your MikroTik—from smart TVs to IoT sensors—automatically becomes censored-free. v2ray mikrotik
Comprehensive Guide to Routing V2Ray Traffic via MikroTik Routers
: MikroTik's FastTrack feature bypasses the firewall mangle chain to save CPU cycles. If your rules are not catching traffic, temporarily disable the default FastTrack rule in /ip firewall filter .
Note: Replace ccrsxx/v2ray-client:latest with the appropriate repository based on the latest 2026 container best practices. /container start [find] Use code with caution. Once the container is downloaded, you must mount your config
/ip/route/add dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=172.16.10.2@main routing-table=v2ray_route Use code with caution.
Because RouterOS (MikroTik's operating system) does not natively support the V2Ray protocol, attempting to run complex proxy tools directly on the router can degrade performance. This comprehensive guide details how to build a highly scalable, high-performance network-level proxy system using a MikroTik router and a V2Ray gateway. Architecture Overview: The Two-Box Solution
To ensure your V2Ray-on-MikroTik setup performs optimally, consider these strategies: Comprehensive Guide to Routing V2Ray Traffic via MikroTik
: You need a MikroTik router with an ARM, ARM64, or x86 architecture. Popular choices include the hAP ax lite LTE6 or hAP ax³.
DNS leaks (Your ISP sees your requests). Solution: Force all DNS traffic to your V2Ray gateway.
