To run V2Ray, you must deploy it as a container within RouterOS. This requires a MikroTik device with an processor and enough RAM (typically 512MB+). Prerequisites : RouterOS 7.5+ : Earlier versions do not support containers.
Enable MikroTik's built-in Web Proxy and tell it to use V2Ray as its parent proxy:
: Use firewall mangle rules to mark specific traffic (e.g., based on a destination address list) and route it through the TUN container's interface. 3. Key Advantages & Limitations v2ray mikrotik

The setup requires a deep understanding of Mikrotik’s firewall logic and V2Ray’s JSON configuration syntax. 6. Conclusion To run V2Ray, you must deploy it as

The you intend to use (VLESS, VMess, Trojan, ShadowVPN) Enable MikroTik's built-in Web Proxy and tell it
Split-host (explicit proxy)
You need to mount your V2Ray config.json file into the container.
This article explores three proven methods to integrate V2Ray with MikroTik, routing strategies, and performance tuning.
