Avoid containers for transparent proxying. Use an external Linux box. Testing & Verification On MikroTik: Use an external Linux box
Here’s a technical write-up on integrating with MikroTik (RouterOS). This setup is commonly used to route traffic through a V2Ray proxy (e.g., VMess, VLESS, or Shadowsocks) from a MikroTik router, allowing entire networks to bypass restrictions or use encrypted tunnels. Write-Up: V2Ray + MikroTik Integration Objective Route LAN clients through a V2Ray proxy server using a MikroTik router as the gateway, without needing proxy software on each client. Limitations (Important) MikroTik RouterOS does not support V2Ray protocols natively (no VMess, VLESS, Trojan, etc.). Solution: Use an external device (Raspberry Pi, Linux VM, or container) as a transparent proxy bridge, or run V2Ray on a separate device and route traffic through it.
apt install redsocks /etc/redsocks.conf :
