I. Create VPN Configuration for WireGuard

Before you can set up WireGuard® on your MikroTik router, you need to generate VPN configuration in your KeepSolid User Office.

To do that, follow a few simple steps described in the tutorial How to manually create VPN configurations.

II. Accessing MikroTik Web Console or WinBox:

1. Web Console: Open a web browser and enter 192.168.88.1 in the address bar. Log in with your router's username and password.
2. WinBox: Download and open the WinBox tool from the MikroTik website. Connect using your router's IP, username, and password.

III. Prepare WireGuard Configuration:

1. Open the .conf file provided by VPNUnlimited with a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit). Keep it open for reference as you'll need to copy values from this file.

IV. Create WireGuard Interface:

1. In the router's menu, navigate to WireGuard > WireGuard and click on “Add New”.

2. Set the Name as VPN-Unlimited.

3. For Private Key, copy and paste the key from the Interface section of your .conf file.

V. Configure IP Address:

1. Go to IP > Address.
2. Click “Add New” and enter the IP address and network. Use the address from the .conf file's Interface section. For the network, modify the last octet of your IP address to zero, making it X.X.X.0.

VI. Add WireGuard Peer:

1. Click the WireGuard > Peers tab. Click "Add New", add the parameters from the .conf file and click Apply > OK.

VII. Configure Routes for WireGuard Endpoint:

1. Go to IP > Routes and click “Add New”.
2. For Dst. Address, use the Endpoint address from your .conf file, adding a /32 mask.
3. Set Gateway to your default gateway, which you can find under IP > DHCP Client.
4. Add a comment like wgserver and mark the route as NOT Enabled.

VIII. Configure Default Route for VPN Traffic:

1. Again in IP > Routes, click “Add New”.
2. Set Dst. Address to 0.0.0.0/0 and Gateway to %VPN-Unlimited.
3. Mark this route as Enabled.

Note: Your internet might stop working at this point until the VPN is fully configured.

IX. Configure a DHCP Client for WireGuard:

1. Navigate to IP > DHCP Client.
2. Edit your DHCP client configuration to include the provided script in the settings.

Script:

:local route [/ip route find comment="wgserver"]
:if ($bound=1) do={
/ip route set $route gateway=$"gateway-address" disabled=no
} else={
/ip route set $route disabled=yes
}

X. Create Interface List for VPN:

1. Go to Interfaces > Interface List and click “Add New”.
2. Select list as WAN and Interface as VPN-Unlimited.

XI. Set Up DNS:

1. Navigate to IP > DNS.
2. Enter the DNS servers provided in your .conf file's Interface section.
3. Check “Allow Remote Requests” to enable DNS resolution through the VPN.
