MikroTik CHR and Advanced Networking: Lesson 8 - RouterOS IP Services

In this lesson, we’ll explore RouterOS IP Services, their functionalities, and how to secure them on your MikroTik CHR. These services, including API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, TELNET, WinBox, WWW, and WWW-SSL, are essential for managing and interacting with your router.
You’ll learn:
The purpose and use cases of each IP service.
How to secure your router by disabling unnecessary services, especially for publicly accessible devices.
A practical demonstration of reviewing login attempts in the logs to understand the risks of leaving services open.
Step-by-step instructions to disable unused services while keeping WinBox active.
