Feature Request: Add Port Knocking on MikroTik App and WinBox

Feature Request: Add Port Knocking on MikroTik App and WinBox

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_knocking

DOES NOT MATTER IF ROUTEROS SUPPORT IT OR NOT
leave us to do our rules on firewall,
if possible, add it LATER direct support, for that.

Example:
add one field on login page for set some port comma-separated like
25,79,56,43571,6968,568,547,5487
after knock each port, for 1 seconds between the knock, try to login.
If the field is empty WinBox / MikroTik App act as normal
For security, Min 3 ports for knock?
For to not exagerate, Max 10 ports?
The port-list must be saved like username, password, IP, etc. on WinBox / MikroTik App database.

OTHER USERS: Please don't write about Wireguard, VPN or other more easy or more secure things or similar.
Is not that the point.

If someone ask you one beer can, and begs you not to give him H₂O, you give it a glass of water because is easier?

I have update the OP at the end, adding the Wireguard word.

This isn't a comment about Wireguard:
You can already get simple port knocking apps that work with any kind of setup, so why add it into the MT app?

...into the MT app...
(and WinBox)

Simply because is all in one place, instead use multiple apps,
is possible to export simply the database from pc to app on more device, instead to configure two apps for device,
for say just two reason.
Simpler than that...

Is not like some other demanding requests like "dark mode" for WinBox or "skin editor" for WebFig

Correct in that regard, much rather use an MT app for port knock then some 3rd party stuff.
However, as for the analogy I offer water because the person is an alcoholic. ;-)
