anyone tried to get proton bridge running in a container, with a smtp relay so it's open to anything on the network (proton bridge explicitly listen on 127.0.0.1)

specifically on rb5009?

Re: just to confirm, you cannot force power from rb5009UPr to a passive port right? [SOLVED]

Apart from very few models (which use multiple power sources or have internal power adapter), all Mikrotiks pass voltage as is. So if you power your RB5009UPr with 48V adapter, all PoE out will have 48V. Connecting RB951, which requires 8-30V, will likely have bad consequences. You have option to c...

Re: router is trying to connect to this after been rebooted?

when the "next gen" of the home and office product will get out?

i'm talking about new generation that that would replace

http://routerboard.com/RB951G-2HnD

and / or

http://routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN


something that would include let say "ac" into the wireless by default (and anything else that would help)
