WebBox: WinBox in the Browser
Remote WinBox Without the Desktop App

WebBox gives your team remote WinBox access from any browser. The MikroWizard Terminal Gateway runs MikroTik’s WinBox 4 for Linux in an isolated sandbox and streams it to the browser, so operators install nothing, WinBox ports stay closed to them, and every session is recorded.

How it works

Web WinBox for Your Whole MikroTik Fleet

Open WebBox from the Connection Manager, the device list, the device tree or the Network Map. MikroWizard checks that the Terminal Gateway is available, starts WinBox 4 in a sandbox on the gateway and streams the window to your browser tab, next to your SSH, RDP and WebFig sessions.

  • ✓ No WinBox installation on operator laptops, and no WinBox port 8291 opened to operators.
  • ✓ The same WinBox 4 interface your engineers already know, in a browser tab.
  • ✓ Launch points in the Connection Manager, device list, device tree and Network Map.

Audit

Every WebBox Session Recorded as Video

WebBox sessions are recorded as MP4 video with seeking, so reviewers can jump straight to the moment a change was made. Sessions appear in Session History with a WebBox badge, next to SSH, RDP, VNC and WebFig recordings.

  • ✓ MP4 recording with seeking for every WebBox session.
  • ✓ Session History and Active Sessions show the protocol of every session.
  • ✓ Recordings can be played back from the authentication logs.
Collaboration

Watch and Share Live WinBox Sessions

A senior engineer can watch a WebBox session live or join it, just like a shared terminal session. Join and guest links are bound to the signed-in user, which blocks link spoofing.

  • ✓ Live watch and sharing for WebBox, like terminal sessions.
  • ✓ User-bound join and guest links.
  • ✓ Each WebBox session gets its own isolated, temporary drive.

Why WebBox

Remote WinBox Access, Controlled Centrally

WebBox is part of MikroWizard PAM and is designed for MikroTik RouterOS devices.

No local install

Operators use a browser. The gateway runs WinBox 4 for Linux and keeps it up to date with the current WinBox 4 release.

Closed management ports

Operators reach WinBox through MikroWizard instead of connecting to port 8291 from their own machines.

Recorded and shareable

MP4 recording with seeking, live watch and sharing, and session history alongside every other protocol.

Combine with RADIUS OTP

Pair WebBox with MikroWizard’s RADIUS one-time-password login for WinBox, SSH and WebFig on MikroTik.

Works with the rest of PAM

Command policies, credential vault, session DLP and audit logs apply across SSH, Telnet, RDP, VNC, WebFig and WebBox.

Requires the Terminal Gateway

WebBox runs on the MikroWizard Terminal Gateway addon v1.3.0 or later.
