# awg-proxy — AmneziaWG for MikroTik (timbrs/amneziawg-mikrotik-c)

> awg-proxy is a ~90 KB RouterOS container that lets the native MikroTik WireGuard client connect to AmneziaWG servers (AWG 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1; Cloudflare WARP configs work too). The router does the WireGuard encryption; the container only rewrites packet headers, padding and junk packets. It is installed with an offline browser configurator that turns an AmneziaVPN `.conf` into RouterOS commands. Current repository: https://github.com/timbrs/amneziawg-mikrotik-c — the old Go version timbrs/amneziawg-mikrotik is deprecated.

> Русский: контейнер для RouterOS, который подключает штатный WireGuard MikroTik к серверам AmneziaWG. Ставится конфигуратором https://timbrs.github.io/amneziawg-mikrotik-c/conf3.0.html — он работает офлайн и никуда не отправляет ключи. Документация есть на русском и английском, разделы совпадают.

Key facts (docs reviewed 2026-10-29, awg-proxy 1.4.4):

- RouterOS 7.4+ with the `container` package (7.18+: System → Packages → Check For Updates → Enable container → Apply Changes, or `/system/package/update/check-for-updates`, `/system/package/enable container`, `/system/package/apply-changes`; older: the npk from Extra packages). RouterOS 7.21+: `awg-proxy-{arch}.tar.gz` (OCI). RouterOS 7.20 and older: `awg-proxy-{arch}-7.20-Docker.tar.gz`. RouterOS 7.22+: install from the registry `ghcr.io/timbrs/awg-proxy:latest` and update with `/container/repull` or the configurator's `<prefix>-update` script.
- Architectures: arm64 (hAP ax², hAP ax³, RB5009, CCR2004/2116/2216), arm/ARMv7 (hAP ac², hAP ac³, RB4011, RB3011), armv5 (hEX refresh E50UG, hEX S 2025 E60iUGS, hAP ax S E62iUGS — separate image `awg-proxy-armv5.tar.gz` / `ghcr.io/timbrs/awg-proxy:latest-armv5`), x86_64 (CHR). MIPS (hEX RB750Gr3, hEX S RB760iGS, hAP ac lite, hAP lite, RB2011) and tile (CCR1xxx) are NOT supported: RouterOS has no container package for them.
- Needs about 16 MB of free RAM. On 16 MB-flash routers put the container on an ext4 USB stick and set `/container/config set tmpdir=usb1/pull`.
- Modes: normal client (default), reverse (site-to-site between two MikroTiks), server (an AmneziaWG server for many clients on a VPS or a MikroTik; in the configurator: "MikroTik as an AmneziaWG server"). The configurator no longer offers site-to-site: the server mode joins two MikroTiks just as well.
- Speed is limited by the router CPU doing WireGuard crypto, not by the proxy.
- Port range: `AWG_REMOTE=host:20000-29999` (up to 32 ports/ranges) draws a random port per connection, hops off a silent one in ~15 s and, since 1.4.4, moves to another port every 30–120 min without a drop (`AWG_PORT_ROTATE`, off for WARP). The server must forward the whole range to its port: `scripts/awg-ports.sh` on a VPS, the "More server ports" field for a MikroTik server (it needs 1.4.4+).
