When ''Usage-Based Metric Billing'' is enabled in the product's module settings, the module reports traffic through the native WHMCS metric billing system.<br/>
+
The Metric Billing section allows you to control which traffic metrics are billed through the native WHMCS metric billing system.
−
The following metrics become available:
+
  
−
* '''Download (GB)''' – the amount of data received by the client.
+
Use the switch next to each metric to enable or disable billing. When enabled, the metric usage is reported to WHMCS and included in usage-based billing. Disabled metrics are not billed.
−
* '''Upload (GB)''' – the amount of data sent by the client.
+
  
−
Use ''Configure Pricing'' in WHMCS to define the included traffic allowance and the price charged for each additional gigabyte. Download and upload pricing can be configured separately for the available billing cycles.

[edit] Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.
MTWG download.png
2. Extract the module package into the main WHMCS directory.

The files should be uploaded into the corresponding WHMCS folders.

MTWG 1.png
3. When you install MikroTik WireGuard VPN For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.

The file is located in 'modules/addons/MikroikWireGuardVpn For WHMCS/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

MTWG license.png
4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file.

Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

MTWG license2.png
5. Log in to your WHMCS admin area and navigate to System Settings → Addon Modules.
  • Find MikroTik WireGuard VPN on the list and click Activate.
  • Set access permissions for the required administrator roles and save the changes.

The addon module can now be opened through Addons → MikroTik WireGuard VPN.

[edit] MikroTik Router Preparation

Before connecting the router to WHMCS, make sure that:

  • MikroTik RouterOS 7.20 or later is installed.
  • A WireGuard interface has been created on the router.
  • The RouterOS REST API is available.
  • The API user has permissions sufficient to manage WireGuard peers, addresses, queues, and traffic data required by the module.
  • The selected HTTP or HTTPS service and port are accessible from the WHMCS server.
  • When a secure connection is used, HTTPS and a valid router certificate are configured correctly.

Important: Restrict API access to trusted IP addresses whenever possible and use HTTPS for production environments.

The module communicates with the router exclusively through the MikroTik RouterOS REST API. Legacy API and Winbox access are not required.

[edit] Server Configuration

[edit] Servers

The Servers page lists MikroTik routers configured in WHMCS.

For each entry, you can review its name, hostname, connection port, connection scheme, number of assigned services, and current status.

Note: Router connection settings are managed in WHMCS System Settings → Servers. The addon page provides a centralized overview of the configured servers.

MTWG 13.png

[edit] Accounts

The Accounts page lists the WireGuard peers currently available on the selected MikroTik router, including peers not created by the module.

Use search and filters to locate a specific peer or narrow the list by its current state.

MTWG 14.png

For each peer, the list may include:

  • peer comment
  • WireGuard interface
  • allowed address
  • public key
  • peer state
  • received and transmitted traffic
  • last handshake
  • related WHMCS service, when available
Open a linked account to review its peer details, assigned tunnel address, connection information, and WireGuard configuration.

[edit] Admin Area

Open a client's product or service in the WHMCS admin area to manage the related WireGuard VPN account.

The service view displays whether the peer exists and is enabled, along with its assigned tunnel IP address, server endpoint, last handshake and traffic counters.

Administrators can also perform the standard module commands:

  • Create
  • Suspend
  • Unsuspend
  • Terminate
  • Change Package
Use the available management actions to preview the WireGuard configuration, download the .conf file, reset the VPN interface, and review traffic statistics.

Resetting the VPN interface disables and re-enables the WireGuard peer to force a new handshake (the received and sent traffic counters will be reset). The assigned keys, tunnel IP address, and configuration remain unchanged.

MTWG 19.png

[edit] Traffic Statistics

The Traffic Statistics section displays two charts: Last 30 Days, showing daily traffic usage, and Monthly, showing total traffic usage aggregated by month.
The metric statistics panel also displays the current download and upload totals and allows administrators to refresh the counters directly from the router.
MTWG 20.png

[edit] VPN Configuration

The configuration view contains the complete connection parameters required by the WireGuard client, including the client interface settings and the remote peer details.

Administrators can preview the generated configuration or download it as a ready-to-use .conf file.

MTWG 22.png

[edit] Client Area

The client area gives customers direct access to their WireGuard VPN service and the resources required to configure a connection.

[edit] VPN Dashboard

The main service page displays the live peer state, assigned tunnel IP address, server endpoint, last handshake, received and transmitted traffic, and applied upload and download limits.

Depending on the product configuration, clients can also open the setup guide and download the WireGuard application.

MTWG 23.png

Available client actions include:

  • previewing the WireGuard configuration
  • scanning the configuration QR code
  • downloading the ready-to-use .conf file
  • resetting the VPN interface
  • opening the setup guide
  • downloading the WireGuard client

[edit] Configuration And QR Code

Clients can preview the complete WireGuard configuration, including the client interface and remote peer parameters, and scan the generated QR code to quickly import the tunnel into a compatible WireGuard application.

The same configuration can be downloaded as a ready-to-import .conf file.


Important: The WireGuard configuration contains sensitive connection data. Clients should store it securely and should not share it with unauthorized persons.

MTWG 24.png

[edit] Traffic Statistics

The Traffic Statistics section allows clients to review the amount of uploaded and downloaded data.

Statistics can be displayed in daily or monthly intervals.

MTWG 25.png

[edit] Reset VPN Interface

Use Reset VPN Interface to disable and re-enable the WireGuard peer and force a new handshake.

The action does not change the assigned keys, tunnel IP address, or configuration. The client must confirm it before it is performed.

MTWG 26.png

[edit] Cron Jobs

The module uses the standard WHMCS automation cron for traffic collection, metric usage reporting, and data maintenance.
Make sure that the main WHMCS automation cron is configured and running according to the official WHMCS documentation.

[edit] Tips

1. Use HTTPS and restrict RouterOS API access to the IP address of your WHMCS server.
2. Configure separate MikroTik server groups when you want to distribute products between different routers or locations.
3. Make sure the tunnel IP address pools assigned to different routers do not overlap unless your network design explicitly requires it.
4. Enable traffic statistics only when the related RouterOS permissions and the WHMCS cron are configured correctly.
5. Configure both module metric reporting and WHMCS metric pricing before offering usage-based billing to clients.

[edit] Update Instructions

An essential guidance through the module update process can be found here.

Important: Before updating the module, create a backup of the WHMCS files and database. Review the module changelog for version-specific requirements and migration notes.
