Is Captives SSL really free?

Yes, Captives SSL is 100% free. We use Let's Encrypt to issue wildcard SSL certificates at no cost. There are no hidden fees, no premium tiers, and no usage limits.

How do I install the SSL certificate on my MikroTik router?

After registering your subdomain, download the auto-install script (.rsc file), open your MikroTik terminal (WinBox or SSH), paste the script, and press Enter. The certificate, DNS, hotspot profile, and auto-renewal are all configured automatically in about 10 seconds.

Does the certificate renew automatically?

Yes. The install script sets up a MikroTik scheduler that checks for certificate updates every 55 days. When a new certificate is available, it downloads and installs automatically — zero maintenance required.

Which MikroTik RouterOS versions are supported?

Captives SSL supports both RouterOS 6.x and RouterOS 7.x. The generated scripts are fully compatible with both versions.

What type of SSL certificate do I get?

You receive a free wildcard SSL certificate (*.captives.net) from Let's Encrypt, valid for 90 days with automatic renewal. It covers your subdomain and enables HTTPS on your MikroTik hotspot, WebFig, and API-SSL services.
