Key Features Device Configuration: It offers a comprehensive range of options to configure network devices, including IP addressing, firewall settings, routing protocols, quality of service (QoS), and more. Winbox uses AES128-CBC-SHA as an encryption algorithm (requires winbox version 3.14 or above).Winbox in RoMON mode requires that the agent is the latest version to be able to connect to the latest version routers.Both sides verify that the other side knows the password (no man-in-the-middle attack is possible).

WinBox uses ECSRP for key exchange and authentication (requires a new winbox version).


Winbox neighbor discovery is now capable of discovering IPv6-enabled routers. To connect to the routers IPv6 address, it must be placed in square braces the same as in web browsers when connecting to the IPv6 server. Some of the advanced and system-critical configurations are not possible from MikroTik WinBox, like MAC address change on an interface changelog. All interface functions are as close as possible mirroring the console functions, which is why there are no sections in the manual. It is a native Win32 binary but can be run on Linux and macOS (OSX) using Wine. Winbox is a small utility that allows the administration of MikroTik RouterOS using a fast and simple GUI.
