How to Separate vpn Traffic for Games on Mikrotik

To split traffic on a MikroTik router and route gaming traffic through a VPN, you can use policy-based routing. Here's a general outline:

1. Identify Gaming Traffic:

Use MikroTik's Layer 7 protocol feature or mark packets based on destination IPs/ports commonly used by gaming servers.

2. Set Up VPN:

Configure a VPN client on your MikroTik router (e.g., PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, or WireGuard).
Ensure the VPN connection is active and functional.

3. Mark Routing:

Use the mangle feature in the firewall to mark gaming traffic for routing through the VPN.

4. Create Routes:

Add a route for marked traffic to go through the VPN interface.
Ensure other traffic uses the default gateway.

5. Test:

Verify that gaming traffic is routed through the VPN while other traffic bypasses it.


# Setup L2TP VPN Client
/interface l2tp-client
add connect-to=your.vpn.server.com disabled=no name=l2tp-out1 password=yourpassword \
    user=yourusername

# Marking Game Traffic (UDP ports common for games)
/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting comment="Mark Game Traffic" new-packet-mark=\
    game-traffic passthrough=yes port=27000-27200,37000-40000 protocol=udp
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting comment="Mark Game Traffic - Additional Ports" \
    new-packet-mark=game-traffic passthrough=yes port=3074,3478-3480,4379-4380,27000-27050 \
    protocol=udp

# Marking Browsing Traffic (HTTP/HTTPS/DNS)
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting comment="Mark Browsing Traffic" \
    new-packet-mark=browsing-traffic passthrough=yes port=80,443,53 protocol=tcp
add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting comment="Mark DNS Traffic" \
    new-packet-mark=browsing-traffic passthrough=yes port=53 protocol=udp

# Routing Game Traffic through VPN
/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-routing chain=prerouting new-routing-mark=game-route passthrough=yes \
    packet-mark=game-traffic

# Setup Routing Table for Game Traffic
/ip route
add distance=1 gateway=l2tp-out1 routing-mark=game-route

# QoS - Prioritize Game Traffic
/queue tree
add name="Game Priority" parent=global packet-mark=game-traffic priority=1
add name="Browsing Priority" parent=global packet-mark=browsing-traffic priority=4
