MikroTik Back to Home: Secure Remote Access Made Simple
MikroTik Back to Home: Secure Remote Access Made Simple

Ever left home and realised you forgot an important file? Or needed to manage your network while travelling? The MikroTik Back to Home (BTH) app makes it simple to securely access your MikroTik router from anywhere, even if it’s behind a NAT or firewall. No public IP? No problem.

Why MikroTik back to home is different from other VPNs

Back to Home uses WireGuard® encryption to create a direct, end-to-end secure tunnel between your device and your router. Unlike traditional VPNs that rely on cloud servers, BTH ensures your traffic stays private. Even if the MikroTik relay service is used to locate your router behind NAT, the service never decrypts your data.

It’s simple, reliable, and completely free, a true end-to-end solution for personal or small business networks.

Key features

  • Secure Remote File and Media Access - Access your home computers, local drives, and personal media safely from anywhere. Forgot a file at home? BTH gives you instant access without exposing your network to the internet.
  • Travel Without Limits - Enjoy your favourite shows abroad or bypass region locks using your home network. Whether on hotel Wi-Fi or public hotspots, browse securely through your own connection.
  • Safety on Public Networks - Skip risky Wi-Fi and avoid overpriced cloud VPNs. Your traffic passes through your router, so you stay secure, private, and even benefit from adblocking features at home.
  • Share Access Safely - Grant friends or family access with configurable limits. Control expiration dates and firewall rules to share your connection safely without exposing sensitive devices.
  • Remote Router Management - Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot your MikroTik router remotely. Ideal for IT professionals, WISPs, or helping family members manage their home networks.
