Why take this course?
This course is designed for engineers who are working on MikroTik routers and who have them installed on their network.
MikroTik routers are very nice routers when it comes on the different packages that they have installed by default and features that you can configure, but they can be also very dangerous if we do not secure them correctly.
For this reason, I have designed with course with many LABs to show you how you can secure your MikroTik router and make it hard for intruders/attackers to profit from the vulnerabilities on your MikroTik router and gain access to your router and your network.
This course is based on different LABS which goes based on step-by-step and with a lot of explanation on each of the LABs.
For the whole course, I will be using the latest MikroTik RouterOS v7 for all the LABS. To be able to follow this course and repeat the LABS, you require to have only 1 MikroTik router (only in 1 LAB you need 2 MikroTik routers). You can also using virtual CHR images to follow this course, so you don't have to invest in buying a physical MikroTik router.
I look forward to see you in my course.

This is a great course for beginners new to MikroTik or Intermediate technicians that want to increase security on their network. Exactly what I was looking for and worth the time and money. I implemented all of the labs on my home network/lab (because we are all working from home now) and am now seeing hacker traffic - trying to get into my MikroTik and failing. So thank you Mr Maher, its great to have this new knowledge immediately put to work.

Great explanations of the topics and also impressed that the instructor used third party software such as NMAP to show a quick vulnerability scan of the MikroTik services/ports. Thanks for the amazing course.

I liked the lessons as there were a few topics I would not have thought to cover when hardening the router. However, a few nitpicks:
1) Newer versions of RouterOS use the bridge for hardware offloading instead of Master/Slave configuration. After discussing the importance of upgrading packages, the instructor downgraded the packages to show the old way of configuring shared ports instead of showing the new way; and yet, continued on with the lesson with a router configured using the new way.
2) I had hoped for much more in terms of firewall rules.
3) I needed to watch a few videos quietly and found that the Closed Captioning translation was terrible.

I have new knowledge about this like port knocking, loopback protection, disable some features, tools, service, packages, that not we use for secure, and more, but my suggestion is
1. Maybe you can put some background song with little volume to make the "courser" / people more focus cause every video take more than 15 min (averages), some people can sleepy if too flat for explaining
2. Maybe when explaining can put also some dynamic images that more interactive
3. The sound too little, I need to set my laptop volume to max to be able to hear it
4. I always set the speed video to 1.25 / 1.5, but this is my experience, maybe good for another person that needs more slowly to hear and explaining
but in my conclusion, your courses is the best for people that want to upgrade their skill/knowledge relates with Mikrotik, mainly in the session when you're explaining with logic when configuring like if input -> action drop, somethings like that
Thanks and best regards, I have still others 3 courses from you to learn (y)

Yes, the beginning was all basics I was familiar with but the last 4 sections were mostly new and good explanations.

While not extremely thorough, it is better than the paid classes from Mikrotik I took for my MTCRE and MTCNA

Very good course to start with Mikrotik routers configurations. Very well explained and followed by labs to enforce the theory.

The course was deliver to my expectation and the goal was first to know more about Mikrotik. On second step is now up to me to implement some security rules from the course on new Mikrotik router in our company.

This course was very helpfully for me because i am beginner in the Mikrotik world. Secure router is absolutely needed in this time. Maybe it will be good to explain more causes of protection and setting firewall. for example protect or manage access from youtube, facebook.
Thank you

It's a great course, but maybe the instructor should do some introductory courses in order to be able to go straight to the point in courses like this one.
Everything is thoroughly explained, which is excellent for people without previous knowledge, but for someone with some networking experience it is a tad slow.
Another suggestion is to include some other examples specially in the firewall part.

Great walk-through labs, not just lecture and slides. These are things you can do on your Network Mikrotik router and switches as you work through the labs. (I went out and crawled all my MT devices after each lab and put the course to work right away) Sometimes these subjects get a bullet point and maybe a sentence in many classes. It is good to have examples that show how they are configured and what a working and not working configuration looks like, that even someone with experience can come back to for reference. Thanks Maher Haddad!
