Summary of the Video (Auto-subtitles, Technology-Focused)

This tutorial demonstrates how to set up MikroTik RouterOS running in VirtualBox and then connect a Windows 7 VM as a client to verify full Internet access through the MikroTik instance (managed using WinBox).

1) VirtualBox Networking Setup (Adapter Planning)

The speaker prepares:

  • A virtual MikroTik OS VM
  • A Windows 7 VM (client)

Adapter roles configured in VirtualBox

  • Adapter 1 = Internet adapter
    • Connected to the “internet” side
    • Used as the WAN for MikroTik
  • Adapter 2 = Client/inside network adapter
    • Used as the LAN link to the Windows 7 client

The tutorial notes that unnecessary adapters can be skipped; the setup uses an adapter as “host-only” depending on the VM needs.

2) Connect to MikroTik Using WinBox

After booting the MikroTik VM:

  • Download and open WinBox from the official site, matching the appropriate RouterOS/architecture.
  • In WinBox:
    • Connect using the password set during MikroTik installation
    • Select the discovered MikroTik entry (example references include items like “x86” and “rb1100”)

3) RouterOS Configuration Steps (Interfaces + IP Addressing)

Interfaces tab

The tutorial renames interfaces to make roles clear, for example:

  • ether1 → renamed to “internet” (WAN)
  • ether2 → renamed to “client” (LAN)

IP → Addresses

  1. Determine the MikroTik WAN IP details by checking Windows 7 network adapter IPs
    • Example mentioned: DHCP range like 10.0.2.x
  2. WAN/gateway addressing:
    • Gateway IP is taken from the VirtualBox default gateway (example: 10.0.2.2)
    • Example WAN IP format: 10.0.2./24 (aligned to the VirtualBox subnet)
  3. LAN/client addressing example:
    • Assign 192.168.30.1/24 to the client interface

4) DNS Configuration

In DNS settings:

  • Set Google DNS servers, for example:
    • 8.8.8.8
    • 8.8.4.4
  • Ensure remote requests are enabled (the tutorial explicitly instructs to check the remote request option)

5) Default Route (Gateway / Root IP)

  • Add a default route via the WAN gateway:
    • Default gateway example: 10.0.2.2
  • Apply the route (the tutorial includes an example comment such as a format like “TV”)

6) DHCP Server for the LAN

  • Configure DHCP server on the LAN interface (e.g., ether2 / client)
  • DHCP behavior/lease details are verified later from the Windows 7 VM

7) Firewall + NAT / Forwarding Rule

Before testing connectivity:

  • In Firewall, add a rule in the forward chain
  • Select ether1 as the “internet” interface (as described in the subtitles)
  • Set action to masquerade (NAT) so LAN clients can access the Internet

8) Testing Connectivity

MikroTik-side tests

  • Perform ping tests:
    • Ping the relevant connected IP
    • Ping the WAN gateway (example reference shows something like 202.0.x.x appearing as a gateway target)
    • Ping Google to confirm Internet access from MikroTik

Windows 7 client verification

  • Change VirtualBox networking as described:
    • MikroTik Adapter 2 → set to internal network
    • Windows 7 NIC → set to internal network with the same internal network name
  • Windows 7 receives an IP via DHCP (example shown: 192.168.30.254, plus DHCP list evidence)
  • From Windows 7:
    • Use CMD to ping MikroTik/client IP
    • Use a browser to access Google

9) Final Verification Outcome

The tutorial concludes that:

  • Windows 7 can browse Google
  • Internet access is successfully passed through MikroTik to the client
  • The configuration “can be applied to the client” and is successful
