On May 22, 2025, Mikrotik rolled out its much-anticipated version 7.19 update, bringing with it a feature that network admins and security enthusiasts will love. The latest update introduces a revamped IP service list page, making it easier than ever to see which ports are open and what services are running on your router, right from the web/winbox interface.
Why is this such a big deal? If you’ve ever used the netstat -tupl command on Linux, you’ll recognize how valuable it is to have a clear overview of active ports and services. Now, Mikrotik brings that same power and visibility directly to your router’s management dashboard. No more guessing or running extra commands—just a straightforward list showing you exactly what’s exposed to your router.
From a security perspective, this is a huge win. Being able to quickly identify open ports means you can lock down unnecessary services and reduce your attack surface. In a world where threats are constantly evolving, having this level of insight is essential for proactive network defense.
Hats off to Mikrotik for listening to their users and making network security more accessible and transparent. The 7.19 update is a step forward for anyone serious about keeping their network safe and under control.
