Mikrotik route leaking between VRFs

Have you ever wanted to leak routes between two VRFs on a mikrotik? I did. And I wanted to do it with IPv4 and IPv6. Now, this mostly works, and there are a few ways to do it. the easiest is using interfaces and their corresponding IP assignments and VRFs, but I wanted to leak entire tables. This is doable as well, but it comes with some limits. This is broken for the main VRF as of 21-April-2025, which means that to do it, you’ll need to move anything from @main into it;s own VRF.

Mikrotik Winbox linux .desktop file

A minor annoyance, but the linux version of Mikrotik winbox, while possibly the best network interface GUI around, has some quirks. If you want the icons to look correct, do the following (via Jerald Worthington) This file assumes that the .zip from MikroTik is extracted to /opt/WinBox If putting in another location, edit the Exec= and Icon= to match the correct locations Place the WinBox.desktop file in /usr/share/applications Create a symlink in /usr/local/bin to point to /opt/WinBox/WinBox (or wherever you extract the file to) Then whenever you launch from the Application launcher it’ll show the proper icon in the dock.
