To guarantee low latency and high availability, configure the following optimization tweaks: FastTrack Exceptions

If you have a MikroTik router with an ARM, ARM64, or x86 processor (like the RB5009, hAP ax series, or CCR2004), you can use the Container feature (introduced in v7.4). You can run a lightweight V2Ray or Xray-core Docker image directly on the router.

V2Ray is not natively supported on RouterOS - you'll need either RouterOS v7 with containers or point to an external V2Ray server using standard proxy features. For native support, consider WireGuard or OpenVPN which are built into RouterOS.

V2Ray runs in a Docker container, requiring hardware that supports the container package (e.g., hAP ax2/ax3, RB4011, RB5009).

Route specific IPs or countries through the V2Ray container's gateway.

Running (or the more modern Xray-core ) on MikroTik devices is primarily achieved using the Container feature introduced in RouterOS v7 . Because MikroTik does not have native support for V2Ray protocols like VMess or VLESS, you must run a specialized Docker container as a workaround. Prerequisites RouterOS Version : You must be running v7.1 or newer.

Overview

For security reasons, MikroTik disables the container runtime by default. Enabling it requires physical access or a device reboot confirmation loop. Open your MikroTik terminal via WinBox or SSH. Enable the container feature by running: /system/device-mode/update container=yes Use code with caution.

The challenge was the MikroTik. Its operating system, RouterOS, was a fortress of stability, but it wasn't natively built for the complex V2Ray cores. Elara had two choices: the old way of NAT redirection to a sidecar Linux box, or the new way— Containers She pulled up the terminal. The Vessel
