Here’s a technical write-up on using with MikroTik (RouterOS). This covers the common use case: V2Ray client on a MikroTik router to route traffic through a V2Ray server (VMess/VLess).
Running V2Ray (or Xray-core) on MikroTik devices is a powerful way to bypass sophisticated internet censorship using protocols like v2ray mikrotik
This is more reliable than containers for heavy loads because the Pi has better RAM management. Here’s a technical write-up on using with MikroTik

The benefits of running V2Ray directly on a MikroTik router are substantial. The primary advantage is network-wide protection. When V2Ray is installed on the router, every device connected to that network—smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and IoT devices—automatically routes its traffic through the secure tunnel without requiring individual configuration. This "set it and forget it" approach simplifies network management significantly. Furthermore, leveraging MikroTik’s advanced routing features, administrators can implement complex rules. For example, domestic traffic can be routed directly through the standard gateway for speed, while international traffic is routed through V2Ray, optimizing both performance and access.
