To remotely access mikrotik via IPv6, which address does the link-global or link-local address go?

To remotely access a MikroTik device (or any other device) over IPv6, you must use the address Global IPv6 (also known as “link-global”). Global addresses are unique across the Internet and allow devices to communicate across different networks, which is essential for remote access.

The directions IPv6 link-local They are unique only within a specific network segment (i.e., the same local network or link) and are not routable over the Internet. These addresses are used for communication within the same local network and for certain configuration and discovery protocols. A link-local address in IPv6 generally begins with “fe80::” and is only accessible from the same local network, not being suitable for remote access from a different network.

Therefore, to remotely access a MikroTik router using IPv6, make sure to:

  1. Configure a global IPv6 address on the MikroTik router. This address must be provided by your ISP or configured in a network environment that uses IPv6 mappings.
  2. Correctly configure the firewall of the MikroTik to allow remote access from the Internet to required services (such as WinBox, SSH, WebFig, etc.), making sure to restrict access to only the necessary IP addresses to maintain security.
  3. Use the global IPv6 address to connect from a remote location, along with proper DNS configuration if necessary, for easy access without needing to remember the full IPv6 address.

Always remember to secure your device for remote access, using strong security practices such as strong passwords, regular software updates, and, if possible, VPN or IPsec settings to encrypt your remote connection.
