Synchronizing your authentication server with your physical routerboard is key to maintaining network performance. Shohoz ISP interfaces with Mikrotik API:
- **Secure API connections**: Do not open port 8728 to the public. Use VPN tunnels or strict IP whitelisting.
- **Queue management**: Configure Simple Queues or PCQ profiles correctly. Avoid manual edits.
- **Fail-safe fallback**: In case of a temporary billing server disconnection, local Mikrotik leases should allow active traffic to avoid service disruptions.
Keep your RouterOS updated and use standard SSH keys for backups.
