Need assistance with MikroTik? Let me know what you're working on!
you're dealing with a complex setup in Iran where internet access is heavily restricted. the government has started blocking most VPN protocols, making it tough to maintain a stable connection. your current approach uses two servers—one in Iran and another in Germany—to bypass the filters. you're using V2Ray with Xray Core and routing traffic through MikroTik routers. the main challenge is the data cap on Iranian servers, which limits how much traffic can pass monthly. to avoid hitting bandwidth limits, you need to control client connections before they reach your second server. there are ways to limit simultaneous connections, such as configuring MikroTik to track source IPs and restrict access based on predefined rules. you might also explore setting up a more granular firewall or using a dedicated gateway that enforces these limits at the network level.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I understand your perspective, but perhaps I needed to highlight certain aspects to better convey my situation. First, I’m undertaking this task simply because I work remotely with clients outside my country—I’m a freelance graphic designer, and my livelihood relies on it. Second, there are recent news reports about these developments, which help explain why I have to take this step. You can find some of the articles below:

The last point I’m aware of is limited in my current capabilities, as I don’t have the technical skills to perform hacking. My goal is simply to set up a VPN so that I and my family can access the internet freely. The main challenge is that most VPN providers rely on openVPN or OpenVPN protocols, which are frequently blocked. Even trying to connect without using those methods is nearly impossible.
I hope this clarifies my situation and the reasons behind my request. If you have any further questions or want to know how our community is responding, I’m happy to help. Thank you.
P.S. You can also check my earlier post from 2019 about similar issues, and I’ve been working on solutions ever since. Each time they block us, it becomes more difficult. Because of GFW’s operations, finding workarounds is becoming increasingly tough. Eventually, we might run out of available IPv4 addresses that aren’t blocked. Many of my IP addresses from Hetzner have already been taken. This article discusses GFW: https://protonvpn.com/blog/great-firewall-china
