Setting up IPv6 on MikroTik behind a FritzBox with CGN should be straightforward — ULA prefix, NAT66 masquerade, done. Instead, RouterOS 7 started advertising router advertisements on the WAN interface, turning MikroTik into an uninvited IPv6 gateway for FritzBox WiFi clients. Here's the full setup and fix.
Multiple rounds of 'reconstruct the firewall' work each added a fresh generation of rules without removing the old one. Because RouterOS evaluates rules in order and stops at the first match, the oldest, broadest generation was silently winning over the newest, narrower one — undoing a security tightening that looked complete in Terraform.
In this project, I built a lab simulation to explore how B2B / enterprise connectivity can be...
