RouterOS hotspot captive portal for wired/wireless access control. Use when: configuring hotspot on RouterOS, setting up captive portal, writing hotspot profiles or instances, configuring walled garden, setting DHCP option 114 (RFC 8910 captive portal URI), integrating RADIUS with hotspot, or when the user mentions /ip/hotspot, walled-garden, hotspot profile, or captive portal on MikroTik.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# RouterOS Hotspot

## How Hotspot Chains Work

Hotspot traffic intercept runs **before** the regular firewall input/forward chains. This is the single most important fact to internalize:

- `/ip/hotspot` binds to a bridge or interface — all traffic on that interface enters the hotspot chain first
- Firewall rules blocking TCP 80/443 from the hotspot interface do **NOT** block the captive portal login page — hotspot handles it before the firewall sees it
- RouterOS automatically injects dynamic firewall rules (`hs-unauth`, `hs-auth` chains) — do not manually create, remove, or interfere with these hotspot-managed rules

**Common mistake:** Adding a DROP rule for port 443 from bridge-hotspot to "fix a security gap" — this breaks the HTTPS login page silently.

## Hotspot Profile

```routeros
/ip/hotspot/profile/add \
  name=my-profile \
  hotspot-address=10.20.0.1 \
  login-by=https,mac,http-pap \
  mac-auth-mode=mac-as-username-and-password \
  dns-name=login.example.com \
  ssl-certificate=login.example.com.crt_0 \
  nas-port-type=ethernet \
  use-radius=yes \
  radius-accounting=yes \
  html-directory-override=hotspot-files
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-hotspot@sha256:9ba41f79b9189ccb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260626.5284858, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
