Home ROUTER ONBOARDING Cloud Link Setup

Cloud Link Setup

Last updated on Jul 24, 2026

PulseISP establishes a secure tunnel between your MikroTik router and our VPS infrastructure. This tunnel is used for:

  • Secure RADIUS authentication and accounting traffic

  • Remote management and configuration pushes

  • Health monitoring and latency checks

How It Works

┌─────────────┐     Tunnel     ┌──────────────┐
│  MikroTik   │◄────────────────────────►│  PulseISP    │
│  Router     │    Encrypted UDP         │  VPS Cloud   │
│  172.31.x.x │                          │  153.75.x.x  │
└─────────────┘                          └──────────────┘

Automatic Setup

The provisioning script handles everything automatically:

  1. Generates Tunnel keypair on the router

  2. Configures the Tunnel interface with our VPS endpoint

  3. Sets up routing rules to isolate management traffic

  4. Registers the router's public key with our server

Manual Verification

To check if the tunnel is active on your MikroTik:

/interface wireguard peers print
/ping 172.31.247.1

A successful ping response means the tunnel is working.

Troubleshooting

If the tunnel doesn't come up:

  1. Ensure UDP port 13231 is open on your firewall

  2. Check that the router has internet access

  3. Verify the provisioning script ran without errors

  4. Try re-onboarding from the dashboard
