Hi Wonder what people do to harden their ROS boxes I have based my stuff of this https://www.manitonetworks.com/mikrotik/2016/5/24/mikrotik-router-hardening pretty sensible stuff then https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Securing_New_RouterOs_Router I like the section on /system logging which is what I am looking at now. Any gotchas to logging to disk. Seems like I can log any message to disk and remote .. Alex
I handle it simply, I don't let anything in except my management IP's, not even customer LAN IP's most of the time. If the customer needs a VPN then that gets let in but nothing else, locked down 100%. I also don't log any firewall drops, there are just too many, and if you go back to look at something it's usually gone by the time you look. I tend to just enable logging when I need it, watch what I need to watch and turn it back off. I wouldn't log to disk constantly as it will consume space but also degrade the flash after some time. You can log to remote and use the Dude as a logging server if you want.

Interesting, is the flash field replaceable ? On 15 March 2017 at 16:28, Paul Julian <paul@oxygennetworks.com.au> wrote:
