Prerequisites
- RouterOS version 7 or higher is required.
- Access to the Mikrotik router via terminal (SSH, Winbox terminal, or WebFig terminal).
Important: Enter the following commands one by one and wait for each command to complete before proceeding to the next.
Step I. Check RouterOS Version
Verify that your router is running RouterOS 7 or higher:
system/package/print
Step II. Create Root Certificate Authority
Create a local CA certificate for SSL:
/certificate add name=LocalCA common-name=LocalCA key-usage=key-cert-sign,crl-sign
Step III. Sign the CA Certificate
/certificate sign LocalCA
Step IV. Create Webfig Certificate
Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the router's public IP address:
/certificate add name=Webfig common-name=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Step V. Sign the Webfig Certificate
/certificate sign Webfig ca=LocalCA
Step VI. Enable SSL for the Web Interface
/ip service set www-ssl certificate=Webfig disabled=no
Step VII. Enable API-SSL
/ip service set api-ssl certificate=Webfig disabled=no
Step VIII. WireGuard VPN Server Setup
Create and enable the WireGuard VPN server interface through the RouterOS interface.
You can do this via Winbox or WebFig:

Step IX. Configure Firewall, NAT and Routing
Important: Please be aware that to ensure proper functionality of VPN connections, it is essential for you, as an administrator, to correctly configure the Mikrotik router. This entails configuring NAT, Firewall, routing, and all the required settings for VPN to operate correctly.
Example NAT masquerade rule (adjust to your network):
/ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1 action=masquerade
Example firewall rule to allow WireGuard traffic:
/ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=udp dst-port=13231 action=accept comment="Allow WireGuard"

Add Server (Router Mikrotik) in WHMCS

Step 1: Name and Hostname
- Name — a descriptive name for your convenience (e.g., "Mikrotik VPN Router 1")
-
Hostname — the hostname that resolves to your Mikrotik router's IP address (e.g.,
vpn.mydomain.com). You can also use a dedicated domain. The important thing is that the chosen hostname resolves to the IP address of the Mikrotik router in your DNS.
Step 2: Assigned IP Addresses
In the Assigned IP Addresses field, enter a list of IP addresses that will be issued to VPN clients — one IP per line.
These IPs will be assigned to WireGuard peers as their tunnel addresses. The module automatically allocates the first available (unused) IP from this pool for each new service.

Step 3: Server Details
- Select the "PUQ Mikrotik WireGuard VPN" module from the Module dropdown
- Enter the correct username and password for the Mikrotik router
- Set the port (default:
443for HTTPS REST API) - Check the Secure checkbox if using HTTPS (recommended)
whmcs-server-details.png
Step 4: Test Connection
Click the "Test Connection" button to verify that WHMCS can communicate with the Mikrotik router via REST API.
A successful connection will confirm that:
- The Mikrotik router is reachable
- The credentials are correct
- The REST API is enabled and responding
Next Steps
After adding the server, proceed to Product Configuration in WHMCS.
