====== Mikrotik port forwarding ======

<WRAP center round alert 60%>
If you are going to port forward port 80, that will interfere with Mikrotik's own Web UI. If you do this you will have to use the Winbox app to connect to it. See link below.

Example of forwarding **port 7000** on router to **port 7000 on local IP 192.168.99.134**.

Screenshots from Web UI, first go to //IP > Firewall > NAT//

{{:wiki:screenshots:2025:port_forward_mikrotik_nat.png?800|}}

Add a new rule and set the IPs and ports like in the Screenshots below.

That should be enough with the default Mikrotik firewall.
