Software Update: RouterOS 6.44.3

MikroTik has released RouterOS 6.44.3. RouterOS is an operating system that focuses on running router tasks. This includes routing network traffic, of course, but also a firewall, bandwidth management, controlling wireless access points, a hotspot gateway and a VPN server. It can be done on the hardware from MikroTik when doing its job on x86 or virtual machines. Before use, a license required, which is included with the purchase of MikroTik hardware. The list of changes for this release is as follows:
