MikroTik billing system: what to look for

What a MikroTik billing system should do: link routers quickly, central RADIUS for PPPoE, secure remote access, automatic backups and smooth router swaps.

Most ISPs in Kenya run MikroTik. A billing system made for MikroTik should make routers easier to run, not harder.

Quick linking

Linking a router should take minutes. In Purple Router you paste one WireGuard script into the MikroTik terminal and the router is linked.

Central RADIUS

PPPoE accounts should live in the billing system, not as secrets on each router. One login then works across your network.

Secure remote access

Lock down WinBox, API, SSH and web access so they only work through a secure tunnel, and manage routers with secure WebFig and WinBox access from the dashboard.

Backups and swaps

Router configurations should be backed up automatically. And when a router fails, you should be able to replace it and have customers log back in by themselves, with the same logins, plans and IPs.

Visibility

See which router each customer is on, who is online and who is paid up but offline, so you can fix problems before customers call.
