Running Dude-server on Windows? (No download, old documentation, docs does not match..)

RouterOS The Dude

When looking at the documentation there should be a Dude version to download for running it on Windows? But I cant find it. That hole part of the documentation looks like it is missing.

What is the preferred way of easy running the Dude server for a small environment but an a PC hardware?

Now you can only run the Dude.exe client on Windows, the server has to be a RouterOS machine with dude package (or you can run it in a virtual machine with the RouterOS CHR image). The windows dude server was discontinued many years ago.

This is a shame, I’d gladly pay money to be able to run Dude server on windows.

you can (sort of) just create a virtual machine and run RouterOS on it

Even though it’s discontinued, why not just leave the latest available version for download “as is”? I think there are no significant changes compared to the current version.

Oh, v4 ??
I can’t remember for sure, but I was using it on Windows around 2015’s and there was ROS v6 already. Or the Dude server for Windows was dismissed earlier?
