AmneziaWG Container for Mikrotik Routers Achieves Major Performance and Feature Upgrades Six Months On
A developer released an initial AmneziaWG container for Mikrotik devices at the start of the year and has since iterated extensively on the project. The container now stands as the smallest and fastest implementation available, weighing only 94.7 KB while delivering up to 300 Mbit/s on Hap Ax3 hardware and 200 Mbit/s on Hap Ax2 models. It leverages Mikrotik's native Wireguard implementation for cryptographic acceleration and adds AmneziaWG obfuscation features entirely in software. Subsequent updates introduced support for protocol versions up to 3.1, dynamic port randomization, IPv6 in dual-stack mode, improved MTU handling, and a privileged mode buffer increase in RouterOS 7.24 that removed previous throughput bottlenecks. The project also gained a server mode for interconnecting multiple Mikrotik devices, an offline configurator, and automatic recovery features for WARP-style clients. Despite an early GitHub ban caused by test code that triggered external connections during CI builds, the repository has grown to over 370 stars and remains actively maintained.
