RouterOS 7 multiwan PPPoE loadbalance script

Script by [email protected]

Last edit 04/01/2022

Please try my RouterOS 7 multiwan PPPoE loadbalance script

Main features:
1) This script allows you to send traffic from special address lists via certain pppoe connection, bypassing the load balance logic (for example your TV should always go only via pppoe-02)
2) This script supports HAIRPIN-NAT
3) This script solves the multiwan issue when you are building outgoing VPN tunnels (openvpn, wireguard, IPSec etc). Please see the pppoe profile section.
4) This script is CPU friendly

In this script I assume you have 2 pppoe WAN links:
1) ether1 with pppoe-01 (FPT)
2) ether2 with pppoe-02 (VNPT)

And 2 LAN bridges:
1) bridge-lan-01
2) bridge-lan-02
